Mary Otis Stevens graduated from MIT with a bachelors' degree in 1956. A protégé of Walter Gropius she is considered one of the most important female architects in the Northeast during the 1960s and 1970s. She partnered with her husband Thomas McNulty from 1956 to 1969, creating in 1965, one of their most influential projects the Lincoln House.

In 1975, Stevens founded the Design Guild, a collaborative architectural practice focused on non-profit clients, historic preservation and adaptive re-use; the Guild disbanded in 1991. The collection includes photocopied material (including articles and photographs of models) of various projects: Stevens' MIT thesis; a proposed Catholic Church; house on Kittery Point; Lincoln House; and the Design Guild.
