Biographical Note
Alfred C. Finn was born in Bellville, Texas in 1883. In 1895, Finn
left home to work on the Brazos River bridge at Hempstead. From there he went
to Houston in 1900 where he worked for the Southern Pacific Railway shops. He
studied drafting and became a draftsman for an abstract company. In 1904, he
moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area where he joined the architectural firm of
Sanguinett and Staats as a draftsman and later as an apprentice to Charles G.
Staats. The firm transferred him to its Houston office in 1912 as an assistant
to the manager.
In May 1913, Finn established his own office. His first job was
designing the ten-story Foster Building. In subsequent years, he designed many
of the city's land mark buildings and claimed among his clients Tom Ball and
Jesse H. Jones, the latter beginning an association of many years.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of many numbered jobs with the numbers
beginning at 100 and continuing to 675. There are also numerous unnumbered
drawings as well as a few drawings by other architects such as Joseph Finger;
Kenneth Franzheim; Sanguinett and Staats; George. E. Dickey; John Eberson;
Endress and Cato; Olle Lorehn; Mauran, Russell and Associates; W. C. Hedrick;
and John Staub.
Arrangement
The rolls of drawings and prints are bagged and are arranged
alphabetically by name of the building, owner of the residence, or name of the
town if other than Houston. And are indexed in a separate card file (see staff
member). The flat file material includes specification, folded prints, and
correspondence and is arranged alphabetically in a similar manner.

followed by an accession number for the project. These unnumbered jobs appear
