Elsa was enthusiastic about art from a young age as evidenced from her high school journal. She was a cartoonist for her school's newspaper and her diary contains many sketches and doodles. Little is known about Elsa's later life outside of the Art League, but it is known that she met her husband Charles Wurtz through the Art League. ","The Art League of Philadelphia aimed to present and promote the work of member artists, both male and female. Their work included painting, watercolors, ceramics, photography and a variety of printmaking techniques. The League held exhibitions of members' work, lectures, and studio classes. Many members were graduates of art institutions including the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, the Pennsylvannia  Academy of the Fine Arts, the Woodmere Art Museum, and the Barnes Foundation. ","In 2015, the following biographical information was submitted by family of Elsa Wurtz. This and additional information from the family has been included with the collection:","A Philadelphian, Mrs. Wurtz was awarded a four-year scholarship to Moore College of Art. She designed greeting cards for Norcross in New York City before learning to read blueprints and then illustrating them for Fleetwings (an aircraft supplier or manufacturer outside Philadelphia) during World War II. ","Early in her career, she painted in watercolor and exhibited at numerous venues, including the Rittenhouse Square Clothesline Exhibit. As time went on, she painted Impressionistic works in acrylic. She also created silkscreen art, prints, and worked in stained glass. ","Her future husband always said that he picked out his mother-in-law and married her only single daughter.

Peltz was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 7 October 1832 to Philip Peltz, M.D. (1802-1858) and Elizabeth Lentz (1808-1875). He was the fourth of nine children: Rebecca (1826-1890); David Lentz (1829-1904); Elizabeth Lentz (1831-1919); Philip G. (1832-1868); John William (1835-1860); Mary E. (1837-1920); Samuel Henry (1839-1865); Josiah (1842-1905, M.D.); and George Mifflin Dallas (1845-1917, M.D.).","Peltz served as an engineer in the United States Navy from 1856 until his death in 1868. He began service as a Third Assistant Engineer on 26 June 1856. His first cruise was on the newly commissioned U.S.S.  Wabash , a wooden screw frigate and the flag ship for the Home Squadron. While aboard the  Wabash , Peltz took part in Commodore Hiram Paulding's arrest of William Walker, the American filibusterer and self-proclaimed President of the Republic of Nicaragua. Peltz is listed in news reports as \"Ensign, Third Assistant Engineer\" alongside \" Company D  - Sharp's rifles\", though his actual relative rank was Midshipman not Ensign. Peltz was promoted to Second Assistant Engineer on 21 July 1858 while still aboard the  Wabash .","By the beginning of 1859, he was listed serving \"Special Duty\" at the Philadelphia Navy-Yard and was likely awaiting reassignment. His second cruise began 3 August 1859 with a promotion to First Assistant Engineer. This cruise was aboard the U.S.S.  Wyoming , a wooden screw sloop in the Pacific Squadron. He served aboard the  Wyoming  for approximately two years.","On 5 November 1861, Peltz was promoted to Chief Engineer (w.r.r.o.* Lieutenant Commander) and placed on \"Special Duty\" at the Philadelphia Navy-Yard awaiting commission of his next ship.","On 20 February 1862, Peltz began his third cruise. He was the Chief Engineer (w.r.r.o. Lieutenant Commander) aboard the U.S.S.  Dacotah , a wooden screw sloop, which would become part of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Peltz served aboard the  Dacotah  until 25 December 1862 when he received orders reassigning him as Chief Engineer (w.r.r.o. Lieutenant Commander) aboard the U.S.S.  Minnesota , a wooden screw frigate and flag ship of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.","Sometime in 1864, Peltz was reassigned as Chief Engineer (w.r.r.o. Lieutenant Commander) for the Baltimore Naval Station. He served in that role until 28 December 1865 when he was placed on Special Duty awaiting new orders.","On 26 April 1866, he reported as Chief Engineer (w.r.r.o. Commander) aboard the U.S.S.  Lackawanna , a wooden screw sloop in the North Pacific Squadron. Peltz served in as Chief Engineer aboard the  Lackawanna  until his death off the coast of Carmen Island, Mexico, on 21 August 1868.","Peltz's body was originally buried at La Paz, Lower California. He was later disinterred by the officers of the U.S.S.  Ossipee  who took his body to San Francisco.

Merrimack , his experience with yellow fever, and encounters with people escaping enslavement who sought out the Union Army. ","He mentions his brother Samuel twice in the journal. First, noting Samuel's commission in the Union Navy as an Assistant Surgeon on 22 August 1862; and second, when his brother reported for duty aboard the U.S.S.  Chocura  on 14 February 1863. Samuel was later transferred in 1864 to the U.S.S.  Patapsco  and drowned when that ship hit a mine in Charleston Harbor (South Carolina) on 15 January 1865.","Of the destruction of the first U.S.S.  Merrimack , Peltz wrote, \"Soon the flames spread over her entire length enshrouding her in one sheet of fire, The fire and smoke came pouring out of the smoke pipe greater than from a Cupola . . .

Diaries contains the following items: diaries dated 1847-1907, transcripts of diaries, and loose pages that did not belong in the diaries. This series is arranged by material type. \nII. Images contains photographs and a newspaper clipping. The photographs are of Rosanna and William Dawson, their children and grandchildren, unidentified family members, the Dawson House, and a picture and newspaper clipping of when the Liberty Bell came to Roanoke, VA. This series is arranged by subject. \nIII. Papers and Artifacts contains two sub-series: Family Papers/Genealogy and Ephemera. Family Papers/Genealogy contains primary sources for research, genealogy research, original correspondence, receipts and deeds, a description of William Dawson's chair, and a Roanoke Times article about the collection. Ephemera contains publications, including \"The Maid of the Mountains\", \"The Secret of a Happy Day\", \"Methodism in Blacksburg\", other local history information, and a Washington, D.C. ashtray. This series is arranged by material type.","Rosanna Croy Dawson was born on 1822 to Methodist sexton Adam Croy and Elizabeth Echols Croy. Records suggest that Rosanna married William H. Dawson (November 23, 1811-March 27, 1878) between December 30, 1839 and January 2, 1840. William H. Dawson was a teacher. Together they raised nine children in a home located at the intersection of East Roanoke and Wharton Streets. The nine children were Robert M., William Thomas, Melissa Jane, Wesley McDonald, Martha V., Sarah E., Mary M., Maggie R., and Ellen Pauline. William H. Dawson taught mathematics, French, and Latin at the Olin and Preston Institute after it opened in 1851. William was the head of the school until it closed when the Civil War began.","Rosanna's youngest daughter, Ellen, started a dressmaking business out of the house. Following William H.

The description of the first trip begins with the writer's arrival in New York on July 15 [1857]. The writer departs New York on July 21, aboard the steamship  Webster , bound for Liverpool via Newfoundland. He describes daily life aboard the ship, including shipboard operations, provides weather conditions and mentions any noteworthy events, especially encounters with sea life (porpoises, whales, and birds) and other ships. He often mentions his family at home and the tedium of being shipboard for an extended time, likening it to a prison, and often plays euchre with other passengers and the captain. The diary continues through the ship's landing at Liverpool on August 17, with the writer describing the city before departing for London shortly thereafter. The account ends with the writer anticipating his upcoming trip to Rotterdam.","The second account commences on February 10, 1872, with the writer aboard the steamship \"Yasoo\" (almost certainly the  Yazoo ), being assisted out of an unidentified port (possibly Philadelphia) by an iceboat and tugs. Through the course of the voyage, he recounts weather conditions, his seasickness, onboard accidents, and encounters with other vessels, as the ship continues down the east coast. The writer is given permission to go ashore in an unidentified city (possibly Havana, Cuba), which he describes. The account ends abruptly on February 19, with the writer anticipating his arrival in New Orleans. ","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

Her family relocated to California when Rupp was ten years old (1953).  Rupp had been fascinated with the built environment since her early childhood growing up in post-war reconstruction Germany.  However, when she entered University of California-Berkeley, in 1960, she had won many small scholarships to study physics.  Her physics career lasted two semesters after which she was able to convince everyone that she should study her first love, architecture (Boulgarides).","While at Berkeley Rupp was mentored by three renowned architects and professors, Joseph Esherick, AIA, Harold Stump, and Donald Reay. Upon graduation in 1966 with a Bachelor of Architecture, Rupp worked for Van Bourg/Nakamura Associates of San Francisco, D'Amico Associates of Mill Valley, Hawley \u0026 Peterson of Mountain Valley and Spencer Associates of Palo Alto.  During this time she received her architecture license in the State of California (1971).","In 1976, Rupp stating that architecture was in the \"doldrums\" and recognizing that there was no future for her in the 'major firm' where she was currently employed decided to open her own firm exclaiming, \"I could do nothing on my own as well as for someone else\"(Boulgarides).  She served as president and principle architect for SLR/Architects from 1976 until 1998 when she closed the office.  ","SLR/Architects specialized in technical facilities, industrial work, and residential structures.  The company provided architectural services for many of the pre-eminent Silicon Valley firms: Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems, Tandem, Amdahl, Claris, Raychem, and IBM.  Other prominent clients included: AT\u0026T, Pac Bell, United Airlines, Pan Am, Stanford University and Hospital and San Jose State University.  Some of her significant projects were the Press Building and Storey House at Stanford University, an RF Testing Facility for Apple Computer (winner of an AIA Honor Award), and a six-year factory retrofit and rehab for the Raychem Corporation.  At its height SLR/Architects employed eight professional and paraprofessional staff (1987) and established an international branch SLR/International in Tel Aviv, Israel (1983). ","Rupp was active in many professional and local civic organizations.  She was a former board member and chairperson of the City of Palo Alto Architectural Review Board, former director of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and former president of California Women in Environmental Design (CWED).  She also served on the boards of the New Performance Gallery in San Francisco, Theater Artaud of San Francisco, Family Planning Alternatives of Sunnyvale, Diablo Ballet of Walnut Creek and the Lawrence Pech Dance Company of San Francisco.  She was an active member of the Organization of Women Architects (OWA), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and the Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes (UIFA). ","An ardent champion for women's rights, Rupp stated that she became involved in women's issues \"…simply because I did not want there to be any [women's issues]. It seemed that the time for gender differences should be long over.\"  She was a mentor to many women and minorities in the course of her practice encouraging and facilitating their entry into architecture.  ","In retirement, Rupp turned her attention to painting and traveling.  Her watercolors primarily focused on California bay area landscapes and were featured in several local juried shows.  She also traveled extensively documenting her experiences in beautifully illustrated and annotated travel diaries (present in the collection).  ","Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp passed away May 27, 2004. Her legacy in her own words, \"I'd like to be remembered for dissenting when everyone else thought it easier to go with the grain even when the grain was wrong. I'd like to be remembered for being a competent architect who did competent work, a competent painter who did competent painting and someone who told good stories\" (OWA).","~~~~~~~~~~~","References:","\"Dr. James D.
