Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n 1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n David M.

Due to preservation concerns, some items were copied onto acid-free\n paper and stamped as preservation copies. The originals were placed in mylar and are located\n in Box 7. Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n 1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n David M.

Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton.

There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n Todd Lincoln.

Due to preservation concerns, some items were copied onto acid-free\n paper and stamped as preservation copies. The originals were placed in mylar and are located\n in Box 7. Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n 1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis.

Due to preservation concerns, some items were copied onto acid-free\n paper and stamped as preservation copies. The originals were placed in mylar and are located\n in Box 7. Patrons should consult with Rubenstein Library staff before handling these\n materials.","The vast majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence, covering the years\n 1823-1883. Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n David M.

Many of the letters in the collection were written to Stephens, although there\n are letters written in his own hand. Throughout the correspondence are letters written to\n Stephens by various family members, most notably his brothers John and Linton. The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health. Given the expansive amount of\n correspondence, below is a breakdown by decade of other topics which appear, in an effort to\n assist the researcher in locating materials of interest:","Correspondence 1823-1839: Topics include States' Rights, slavery, and an Indian war in\n Florida [possibly the Creek War]. There is a letter from Herschel V. Johnson who sought\n advice from Stephens in 1839 regarding negotiations with a railroad company.","Correspondence 1840-1849: Topics include local and national politics/views, opinions about\n President Martin Van Buren, \"agricultural politics,\" Thomas Dorr and the People's Party, the\n purchasing of slaves, the 1843 Boston visit of President John Tyler and Vice President\n Daniel Webster, Stephens' nomination to serve in the U. S. Congress, Whigs and Democrats\n (Stephens was invited to attend several Whig-sponsored barbeques), and the death of\n Stephens' brother Aaron. There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners). Of note are two letters written in 1844 by [Sarvis] Pearson\n (presumably a client of Stephens or his firm) to his estranged wife Mary S. Pearson which\n offer insight into the subject of divorce and marital discord of the time period.","Correspondence 1850-1859: Letters written by Stephens start to appear more frequently.\n Topics include largely family and legal matters.","Correspondence 1860-1869: Topics include employment inquiries both pre- and post-Civil War,\n autograph requests, Stephens' book about the Civil War, and the social history of a\n post-Civil War Georgia. Items of note: There are petitions (1860) by Stephens' district\n constituents asking him to address them about the presidential election. There are letters\n asking him for permission to travel into the Union. There are a couple of letters written by\n Stephens to Jefferson Davis. There is a letter from March 1860 to Pearce Stevons [Stephens]\n by Rody Jordan, both of whom were not only brothers but slaves as well. The letter is likely\n written by someone other than Jordan. A letter to Stephens in October 1866 states that his\n former slave Pearce was charged with murder and asks for Stephens' legal counsel at Pearce's\n request (he apparently complied based on a letter from 1869).","Correspondence 1870-1879: Topics include requests for employment and financial help,\n requests for letters of recommendation, Linton Stephens' death, Stephens' paper the Daily and Weekly Sun , the federal government, autograph requests,\n and Stephens' work with the Committee on Standard Weights and Measures. Item of note: There\n are documents from 1873 concerning an illegal distilling and corruption case in Georgia.","Correspondence 1880-1883: Topics includes Stephens' opinion of President James A. Garfield,\n his bid for Governor, requests for financial help and letters of recommendation for men\n interested in state posts appointed by the Governor, such as Physician of the Georgia\n Penitentiary. Items of note: There is a letter dated 1883 signed by Secretary of War, Robert\n Todd Lincoln. There are two letters from 1882 which offer some insight into African-American\n involvement in Georgia politics.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.\n For more information, consult the copyright section of the Regulations and Procedures of the\n David M.

The bulk of\n the correspondence pertains to Stephens' law work, regarding issues such as the settling of\n estates and the collection of debts. The most prominent topics include family matters,\n business and legal matters and Stephens' health.

There is a letter from United States Representative Marshall\n Johnson Wellborn which discusses the Judiciary Act (1841). There are also a substantial\n number of letters written by and to John Bird and letters written to him and Stephens (they\n were likely law partners).

The bulk of the collection consists of 90 journals that contain detailed accounts of Mary McCornack Thompson's work as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in South Africa. During her 43 years as a missionary Thompson worked briefly at the mission station at Esidumbi in South Africa, but she spent most of her time at the Mount Selinda mission in the Melsetter region of Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe). In the diaries, Thompson wrote of her daily activities as a missionary, including building and expanding the mission, encounters with locals, learning Zulu, wildlife, meeting other missionaries, teaching and praying. These detailed entries offer a glimpse into the social conditions, race relations, and native cultures of various South African regions. Thompson also recounts her many travels throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and Canada. Included in the collection is one folder of correspondence, mainly from William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband) regarding the collection and the transfer of Mary's diaries to Oberlin College."," The Diaries Series documents Thompson's almost daily activities between the years of 1887-1933, spanning all five of her missionary trips to Africa. Volumes 1-6 describe her first missionary trip (1887-1899), detailing her preparations for travel to Africa, her arrival, and her first encounters with native Africans. During this time Thompson married another missionary, William L. Thompson, and together they traveled for four months, mostly on foot, from South Africa to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). They settled at Mount Selinda, which would be their home in Africa for the next forty years. Volumes 6-8 describe Mary Thompson's visits to the United States between her missionary trips, including taking cooking and photography classes, and traveling around the U.S. ","Volumes 8-35 detail her second trip to Africa (1901-1910), during which time the mission at Mount Selinda began to expand rapidly. Thompson often writes about elections at the mission, as well as prayer services and sermons. She occasionally mentions world events such as the explosion of Mt. Pelee in Martinique, the Russian Revolution, and the detention of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. She also describes her experiences with local natives who teach her the Zulu language. Volumes 35-40 cover Thompson's trip back to the United States in 1910. She describes lectures and meetings, and discussions on the outbreak of World War I. Her diary entries become less frequent during her stay in the United States. ","Volumes 40-57 span her third trip to Africa (1911-1917), and entries tend to be bit longer and more descriptive. On this trip volumes 44-49 were written in diary volumes entitled \"Warriors of Africa,\" whose covers depict African natives, and volumes 52-55 in volumes bearing the title \"Empire Exercise,\" portraying historical events. Volumes 57 and 58 describe Thompson's travels during 1916-17 (at the height of World War I) to Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. Volumes 59-60 recount her time back in the United States; much of the content revolves around religious and political meetings on World War I, and the 1918 U.S. midterm elections..","Volumes 61-77 detail her fourth trip to Africa (1919-1925), and volumes 78-89 her fifth and last trip to Africa (1926-1932). Volume 80 does not begin until page 92, and is filled with various writing; some entries appear to be copies of diaries of historical figures. The diary entitled \"Notes on Work at Moody Bible Institute\" contains lecture notes, thoughts, scripture quotations, and observations by Thompson while attending a higher-education Christian organization, Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago in 1918, between her third and fourth missionary trips to Africa.","The Correspondence Series contains six letters regarding the collection and transfer of Mary McCornack Thompson's diaries after her death in 1936. The first five letters are from by William L. Thompson (Thompson's husband), to his nieces Margaret and Jay Urice, who are locating and collecting Mary's diaries. The sixth letter is from Jay Urice to Mr. Julian Fowler, a librarian at Oberlin College, about having Mary's diaries sent to Oberlin.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to Duke University.

He began his career as an architect by working at construction sites during his summer breaks from the University of Michigan, from 1937 through 1941. He then worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the MacArthur Lock in Sault St. Marie. Following Lane's graduation from the University of Michigan he served in World War II. He was in Louisiana for a short time, helping to supervise construction of a blimp hangar. He then began work as a Photo Interpretation officer and was part of the landing at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He also spent some time in Nagasaki after the atomic bomb. Upon returning he went to work as an architect for George Brigham in Ann Arbor. Brigham's office was divided into two areas, research and production. Lane was assigned to work in research as an architect for Brigham's Progressive Homes Corporation (PHC). The goal of PHC was to design a completely prefabricated home that could be erected in eight hours (with the footings already in place) for the price of $1500. Brigham began the company with funders that included Eugene Cassaroll of Dual Motors. Lane describes the other investors as \"auto people from Detroit.\" The investors disassociated Brigham from the research division when his pace of development did not move along as quickly as they had hoped. The head of PHC was Ira E. \"Mickey\" Gillen, a former production manager for Chrysler Motors."," Gillen and the investors acquired 100,000 square feet of space in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to manufacture their homes. Gillen arranged for the building supplies to come from a variety of companies across the U.S. In a reflection of Gillen's automotive background, he wanted the pieces of the houses brought to Arkansas and assembled as pieces of a car are brought to a central location to be assembled. Gillen set up dealerships for the houses in every state and in England, France and South America. In South America he had a contract for 10,000 homes and in California a naval station wanted 5,000 houses, if they were financed by the Federal Housing Administration. The first two manufactured homes were built in Indiana, then Wisconsin. At about the fifth or sixth house, the local authorities would not issue a building permit because the local plumbers union was against the use of stamped steel in the building. Gillen had the support of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) over the plumbers, but the FHA still would not finance the homes. This was the end of the company because no one would finance the building of the houses. Since 1947, 400 homes had come off of the assembly line. Those homes were built around Washington D.C. because of a contract the PHC had with the government, which the latter was forced to honor. By 1948, about 250 similar companies producing manufactured homes had sprung up around the United States."," After the failure of PHC, Lane went to work for the Walter Aneche firm in Ann Arbor; he worked at the firm from 1948 to 1952. Lane designed drawings for Good Housekeeping and schools in Michigan. In 1952 Lane established his own firm in Ann Arbor with architects Alex Riebe and Keith Weiland. Lane developed a 24 x 36 steel sheet that was repetitive and was used in about 400 schools in Michigan. Lane designed many schools and residences throughout Michigan with his firm. The firm was hired in the 1960s to design Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This was the largest, most unique school that he designed. He originally made 17 designs of the building, all which were rectangular in shape. In an effort to save money he created a circular design that reduced corridor space and cost. Lane was lauded for the unique design and budget reducing measures. In addition to the actual structure, Lane also made recommendations, which were followed, on where Huron Parkway should be placed."," In 1971, shortly after the completion of Huron High School, Lane left his firm to pursue his interest in manufactured housing. Alex Riebe moved the firm to Farmington, Michigan. Lane saw that many of the same obstacles remained, with the exception of the invention of the mobile home park. In the late 1960s Lane designed a mobile home park in Almont, Michigan which was unique because it had paved streets, parking, and landscaping.","The collection is arranged into five series, Brigham Building System, Lane Projects, Huron High School, Personal and World War II Military Service. The series include the many projects that Charles Wesley Lane worked on during his architectural career and some materials from his military service as well. The collection is composed of photographs, slides, microfilm, microfiche and prints. The researcher will be interested in the variety of architectural projects in which Lane was involved, which include schools, mobile homes, churches, and other types of structures. A small number of photographs of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb may also be of interest.","Copyright is held by the Regents of the University of Michigan but the collection may contain third-party materials for which copyright is not held.

He began his career as an architect by working at construction sites during his summer breaks from the University of Michigan, from 1937 through 1941. He then worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the MacArthur Lock in Sault St. Marie. Following Lane's graduation from the University of Michigan he served in World War II. He was in Louisiana for a short time, helping to supervise construction of a blimp hangar. He then began work as a Photo Interpretation officer and was part of the landing at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He also spent some time in Nagasaki after the atomic bomb. Upon returning he went to work as an architect for George Brigham in Ann Arbor. Brigham's office was divided into two areas, research and production. Lane was assigned to work in research as an architect for Brigham's Progressive Homes Corporation (PHC). The goal of PHC was to design a completely prefabricated home that could be erected in eight hours (with the footings already in place) for the price of $1500. Brigham began the company with funders that included Eugene Cassaroll of Dual Motors. Lane describes the other investors as \"auto people from Detroit.\" The investors disassociated Brigham from the research division when his pace of development did not move along as quickly as they had hoped. The head of PHC was Ira E. \"Mickey\" Gillen, a former production manager for Chrysler Motors."," Gillen and the investors acquired 100,000 square feet of space in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to manufacture their homes. Gillen arranged for the building supplies to come from a variety of companies across the U.S. In a reflection of Gillen's automotive background, he wanted the pieces of the houses brought to Arkansas and assembled as pieces of a car are brought to a central location to be assembled. Gillen set up dealerships for the houses in every state and in England, France and South America. In South America he had a contract for 10,000 homes and in California a naval station wanted 5,000 houses, if they were financed by the Federal Housing Administration. The first two manufactured homes were built in Indiana, then Wisconsin. At about the fifth or sixth house, the local authorities would not issue a building permit because the local plumbers union was against the use of stamped steel in the building. Gillen had the support of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) over the plumbers, but the FHA still would not finance the homes. This was the end of the company because no one would finance the building of the houses. Since 1947, 400 homes had come off of the assembly line. Those homes were built around Washington D.C. because of a contract the PHC had with the government, which the latter was forced to honor. By 1948, about 250 similar companies producing manufactured homes had sprung up around the United States."," After the failure of PHC, Lane went to work for the Walter Aneche firm in Ann Arbor; he worked at the firm from 1948 to 1952. Lane designed drawings for Good Housekeeping and schools in Michigan. In 1952 Lane established his own firm in Ann Arbor with architects Alex Riebe and Keith Weiland. Lane developed a 24 x 36 steel sheet that was repetitive and was used in about 400 schools in Michigan. Lane designed many schools and residences throughout Michigan with his firm.
