Lenox Square (Atlanta, GA), 1956-1981 and undated

The Toombs, Amisano, and Wells Visual Materials collection contains architectural drawings, sketches, renderings, slides, photos, and negatives related to the firm's various projects ca. 1940-2002. The earlier materials come from Henry Toombs or James Wells. Materials include conceptual projects or ideas submitted for design proposals as well as built projects. The materials were collected by Joseph Amisano so, in addition to projects designed by the firm of Toombs, Amisano, and Wells, many of the materials were generated individually by Amisano, including sketches, ideas, and studies, and a few personal photos.

The firm did work mostly across the South, Mid-Atlantic, and along the East Coast up into New York and Vermont, however there are a few international locations. When known, the project location is noted in parentheses. Toombs, Amisano, and Wells provided a wide range of design work from rural medical clinics and single family residences to community planning/redevelopment and large-scale commercial buildings.

This collection was processed only to the folder level. An attempt was made to identify the types of formats (slides, paper, architectural drawings, etc.) and the kinds of information documented (photographs, photos of building models, plans, renderings, etc.) for each folder.

The original order of the material was mostly well-organized, with slides and standard sized photographs in alphabetical order. Most of the architectural drawings were organized by set and identified. Oversized photographs, presentation boards, and other items were not organized. Additionally, there were sets of miscellaneous slides in trays and sleeves; these appeared to be items pulled for lectures, presentations, etc. that had not been refiled.
