Boynton was born in West Chicago, Illinois, in 1899 and grew up in Amelia County, Virginia. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering in 1921 and a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1923. Boyton then spent a year at the University of Illinois in Urbana taking architecture classes. He became a registered architect in Virginia in 1930 and later registered in West Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.","From 1924 to 1928, Boynton worked as a draftsman at Carneal \u0026 Johnston, Architects \u0026 Engineers, in Richmond, Virginia. In 1929, he joined Louis Phillipe Smithey, Architect \u0026 Engineer, in Roanoke, Virginia, as an associate.

In 1976, Boynton received the Virginia Tech Alumni Distinguished Service.","Boynton died on September 13, 1991, at the age of 92, at his home in Roanoke.","The son of William Rosser Smithey and Mannie Jane Elizabeth Greene, Louis Philippe Smithey was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, on June 7, 1890. He earned his bachelor and master's degrees at Randolph-Macon College in 1909 and 1910, respectively, and was an alumnus member of Phi Beta Kappa there. He was an instructor and special student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute from 1910 to 1914 and a special student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1914 to 1915.","Smithey was a registered architect in Virginia and West Virginia. A fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), he served as president of the Virginia chapter of AIA in 1940. ","Smithey worked as a draftsman and contracting engineer for Virginia Bridge \u0026 Iron Company in Roanoke from 1916 to 1918. After serving in the army in World War I, he was contracting engineer for Virginia Bridge \u0026 Iron Company again in 1919 and 1920. He practiced as Louis P. Smithey from 1920 to 1922, with Matthews H. Tardy as Smithey \u0026 Tardy from 1922 to 1927, and again as Louis P. Smithey from 1927 to 1935. ","The Smithey \u0026 Boynton partnership formed in 1935 with Henry B. Boynton. Prior to World War II, the firm served as consulting architects for the Roanoke City School Board and Roanoke County School Board for approximately eight years and handled school buildings in Franklin County, Montgomery County, Alleghany County, Pulaski County, and the City of Waynesboro.","While the company was closed during World War II, Smithey served in the U.S. Army as Lt. Colonel from 1942 thru 1945. ","Following the war, Smithey \u0026 Boynton were commissioned as architects or consulting architects on public school work in Virginia valued at approximately $31 million, distributed in 25 School Divisions of the state. Smithey retired from professional practice in 1963. ","On June 11, 1938, Smithey married Dorothy Terrill, and they had daughter Nancy Terrill Smithey on March 10, 1940. He and his family lived in Roanoke. Smithey died on August 19, 1966."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe guide to the Smithey \u0026amp; Boynton, Architects \u0026amp; Engineers Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\"\u003ehttps://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\u003c/a\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["The guide to the Smithey \u0026 Boynton, Architects \u0026 Engineers Records by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ )."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eResearchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], Smithey \u0026amp; Boynton, Architects \u0026amp; Engineers Records, Ms1992-027, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Researchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], Smithey \u0026 Boynton, Architects \u0026 Engineers Records, Ms1992-027, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSome processing, arrangement, and description of the Smithey \u0026amp; Boynton, Architects \u0026amp; Engineers Records was completed between 1992 and 2009.

She graduated in 1949 and began working at \"Engergoproject\" and then at \"Glavroject\" (1958-1966).

","Moving back to Sofia, Tsvetana worked in the Regional Design Organization and, beginning in 1978, headed a design studio at \"Sofproject\", the design organization of Sofia Municipality. After her retirement in 1986, she opened a private office and continued to practice. For two years, from 1991 to 1992, Ninova worked again in Paris as a specialist in housing.

She studied at the University of California, Berkeley, 1937-1940; later the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 1941; and graduated with a B. Arch from University of Southern California in 1947. Wilson was the only woman in her graduating class at USC that year.  Her husband, a screenwriter, was blacklisted in 1952 after co-producing a film about New Mexico zinc miners.  As a result the couple moved to Europe.  While in Paris, Zelma pursued her post graduate studies at L'Ecole de Beaux Arts and her husband wrote \"The Bridge on the River Kwai\" and co-wrote \"Lawrence of Arabia.\"","After working for the Los Angeles Planning Department, she obtained valuable experience in the offices of Richard Neutra, Victor Gruen Associates, R. M. Schindler, and Raphael Soriano.  By 1957 Wilson was licensed and in 1967 she became principle of her own firm, Zelma Wilson and Associates, AIA, which she maintained continuously for over 20 years.  She became a Fellow of the AIA in 1983 and guest lectured at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for 10 years.  As her practice grew Wilson acquired two partners and changed the firm name to Wilson and Conrad, Architects, AIA (1979-1984).  The name shifted again as staffing and partnerships changed to The Ojai Group (1985-1986[?]) and finally Zelma Wilson, FAIA (1987[?]-1995). ","Her projects started with houses and grew to institutional work, churches, and private schools.  Wilson served on the California State Governors Emergency Task Force on Earthquake Preparedness from 1979 until 1985. Her projects include Vandenberg AFB Child Development Center, Ojai City Hall and the Simi Valley Community Center. Asked once by a prospective male employer if she cried on the job, Wilson answered, \"I don't, but I've made a few contractors cry.\" ","The guide to the Zelma Wilson Architectural Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Zelma Wilson Architectural Collection was completed in August 2011.

Materials range in date from 1940-1995 (bulk 1969-1991) and are divided into three categories:  Professional Papers, Office Records, and Project Records.   Review the contents list below for details on individual categories.","The Professional Papers series consists of material relating to Wilson's participation in professional life including licenses, correspondence, and involvement in professional and civic organizations.
