The 1880 census shows Marian Eaton living in the Elgin home of her parents. She married Charles H. Woodruff (1855-1911) in Kane County on January 19, 1887, and the couple would have three daughters: Wilda (1887-1932), Rosella Marion (1890-1914), and Helen M. Woodruff (1899-1980). By 1900, according to the census for that year, Charles Woodruff was owner of a local iron foundry. Marion Woodruff continued to live in Elgin following the death of her husband but by 1930 had moved to Princeton, New Jersey, where she lived with her daughter Helen, employed by Princeton University as a professor of archaeology.","Helen M. Woodruff, youngest daughter of Charles and Marion Woodruff, was born in Elgin, Illinois, September 25, 1899.

In brief entries, she describes daily activities with her daughter and other companions, as they travel through France, then through Italy and Switzerland before returning to France before departing for the United States the following August. During her travels, Woodruff names the restaurants, shows, movies, and sites that she visits and attends, including several trips to the Louvre. Her entries from home indicate a busy social life, and she mentions a number of activities, such as attending Boris Gudunov and seeing Sophie Tucker in a vaudeville performance. She attends a number of movies, providing a two- to three-word review of each. In addition to her daughters Helen M. Woodruff and Wilda Woodruff Compton, she mentions many other relatives, friends, and neighbors, and their interactions.

The 1880 census shows Marian Eaton living in the Elgin home of her parents. She married Charles H. Woodruff (1855-1911) in Kane County on January 19, 1887, and the couple would have three daughters: Wilda (1887-1932), Rosella Marion (1890-1914), and Helen M. Woodruff (1899-1980). By 1900, according to the census for that year, Charles Woodruff was owner of a local iron foundry. Marion Woodruff continued to live in Elgin following the death of her husband but by 1930 had moved to Princeton, New Jersey, where she lived with her daughter Helen, employed by Princeton University as a professor of archaeology.","Helen M. Woodruff, youngest daughter of Charles and Marion Woodruff, was born in Elgin, Illinois, September 25, 1899. After graduating from Wellesley College in 1922, she earned her master's and doctoral degrees at Radcliffe College, completing her dissertation in 1928. Entries in the diary of Marion Woodruff suggest that Helen Woodruff was briefly married to Daniel Crane Taylor (1897-1986), a professor of Shakespeare, in the 1920s. She received the Archaeological Institute of America's Fellowship in Medieval and Renaissance Archaeology in the 1920s, providing her the opportunity to travel and study in Europe for a year. After serving as curator at the Sears Museum in Elgin, she taught at Wellesley for a year. By 1930, Woodruff was employed by Princeton University as an archaeologist; in 1933, she became director of Princeton's Index of Christian Art. In 1942, Woodruff took leave from Princeton and joined the U. S. Navy's WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. That same year, she published the Index of Christian Art. She was discharged from the WAVES in 1945. Helen M. Woodruff died in New York March 27, 1980.","Wilda Woodruff, eldest daughter of Charles and Marion Woodruff, was born in Elgin, Illinois, November 29, 1887.

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 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.
