Subseries C. Drawings, 1949-1988, undated.

Extent:

3 boxes and 5 map case drawers.

Scope and content:

Contains an extensive number of drawing, plans, shop drawings, and sketches for built and unbuilt projects designed by architect Jamgochian. Especially well-documented are the "Tree House," Markel Building, Moon House, and Communications Executive Center. Numerous other projects that did not make it past the proposal stage are also documented in this voluminous subseries. All projects, including those that pre-date Jamgochian's professional status, are organized in this subseries for ease of research. An example of a pre-professional project is the architect's work for his parents at the Town House Delicatessen, circa 1949. All drawing types and stages are housed together since most did not make it beyond the planning stage. In the case of completed projects with ample documentation, the drawings have been housed in multiple folders and separated by working and record drawings. The "Amoeba House" design was proposed for a parcel in Richmond's Forest Hill neighborhood and on the Rockfalls Drive property. Consequently, researcher can find information on this design, mostly photographs, in Series I, Subseries F. Photographs, Rockfalls Property, 1968-.
