For states which contain too many images to fit in one folder, the images have been divided among the following subcategories: state capitol exteriors, state capitol interiors, city halls, other government buildings and finally miscellaneous subjects. ","Subseries b: International Structures and Spaces. These photographs of landmarks and municipal buildings in Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Canada, France, England, Italy and the United States are arranged alphabetically by name of country.

","Charles True Goodsell, professor emeritus and former director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The son of Charles T. and Francess Comee Goodsell, he earned a bachelor's degree at Kalamazoo College. After serving in the U. S. Army from 1954 to 1956, he obtained master's and doctoral degrees at Harvard University. ","In 1961, Goodsell became an assistant professor of public administration at the University of Puerto Rico; he was a research associate at Princeton University from 1964 until 1966, when he became a professor of political science at Southern Illinois University. Goodsell joined the faculty of Virginia Tech in 1978 as a professor of public administration and public affairs and served as director of the university's Center for Public Administration and Policy. ","Goodsell's numerous publications range beyond political science and public administration into the fields of architecture, economics, history, sociology, and Latin American studies. He is the author of  The Social Meaning of Civic Space: Studying Political Authority through Architecture ;  The American Statehouse: Interpreting Democracy's Temples ;  The Case for Bureaucracy: A Public Administration Polemic ;  American Corporations and Peruvian Politics ; and  Administration of a Revolution: Executive Reform in Puerto Rico under Governor Tugwell, 1941-1946  and many articles published in scholarly journals, as well as the editor of  The Public Encounter: Where State and Citizen Meet . He is a member of the American Political Science Association, the American Society for Public Administration, the Midwest Political Science Association, and the Southern Political Science Association.

","Charles True Goodsell, professor emeritus and former director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The son of Charles T. and Francess Comee Goodsell, he earned a bachelor's degree at Kalamazoo College. After serving in the U. S. Army from 1954 to 1956, he obtained master's and doctoral degrees at Harvard University. ","In 1961, Goodsell became an assistant professor of public administration at the University of Puerto Rico; he was a research associate at Princeton University from 1964 until 1966, when he became a professor of political science at Southern Illinois University. Goodsell joined the faculty of Virginia Tech in 1978 as a professor of public administration and public affairs and served as director of the university's Center for Public Administration and Policy. ","Goodsell's numerous publications range beyond political science and public administration into the fields of architecture, economics, history, sociology, and Latin American studies. He is the author of  The Social Meaning of Civic Space: Studying Political Authority through Architecture ;  The American Statehouse: Interpreting Democracy's Temples ;  The Case for Bureaucracy: A Public Administration Polemic ;  American Corporations and Peruvian Politics ; and  Administration of a Revolution: Executive Reform in Puerto Rico under Governor Tugwell, 1941-1946  and many articles published in scholarly journals, as well as the editor of  The Public Encounter: Where State and Citizen Meet .

The project index is organized alphabetically by client's last name and then by project number. Researchers should note that several distinct projects share project numbers.

Projects primarily include the design and construction of new residences, and additions and alterations to existing residences.
