Abstract: |
The records consist of photographs, slides, negatives,
photographic shot logs, administrative records, field reports, correspondence, summary reports, building
descriptions and indices related to the Texas Architecture Survey. The Texas Architecture Survey (TAS) was
commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art (Fort Worth, Texas) and the University of Texas at
Austin School of Architecture. Conducted from 1963-1966, the survey produced a partial visual inventory of
Texas homes and public buildings built in the nineteenth century. The survey resulted in two books published
by the Amon Carter Museum and University of Texas Press: Texas Homes of the
Nineteenth Century (1966) by Blake Alexander and Texas Public Buildings of
the Nineteenth Century (1974) by Willard Robinson. Photographer Todd Webb was commissioned by
the Texas Architecture Survey to document the survey. Webb's work was reproduced in the two publications and
was also exhibited at the Amon Carter Museum in 1966 and 1975. |

In 1963, the Board of Trustees of the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art in Fort Worth, Texas invited the
University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture to participate in a survey of nineteenth century
historic buildings in Texas. The Amon Carter Museum (ACM) had recently opened in 1961 and planned to use the
photographic documentation from the survey as part of its exhibition development program. The survey would
be uniquely focused on Texas, modeled on previous national efforts such as the Historic American Building
Survey (HABS) operated by the National Park Service. The Texas Architecture Survey (TAS) would document
nineteenth-century buildings, including those at risk of demolition or being condemned.
John Garner began work as Field Director of operations on January 27, 1964. Garner was a Master's student in
the University of Texas School of Architecture, working with Professors Martin Kermacy and Blake Alexander.
Garner drove throughout Texas, establishing local contacts and documenting buildings with 35 mm slide
transparency film. These slides, and his field notes (called “Building Description Lists”) [both found in
Series B], were reviewed by the university steering committee. The committee and ACM then created building
lists for professional photographer Todd Webb to shoot in large format film.
The TAS designated eight geographical districts within the state of Texas. Field Director Garner worked by
district, recording notes about visited counties, cities, communities, and buildings. Garner (and
collaborators) used a classification system based on abbreviations for these districts, counties, and cities
to identify and organize the slides. Each building within a city was given a sequential number. Garner
worked in District One first, mostly in Spring 1964.
Although it appears that the TAS planned to visit all 254 counties and eight districts in Texas, their
efforts actually focused on central and eastern Texas. Garner completed his fieldwork and resigned as Field
Director on June 1, 1965, thus concluding all primary data acquisition for the TAS. In his final report,
dated June 24, 1965, Garner noted that "the physical area surveyed at the close of
the project was comprised of all counties east of a line drawn from Del Rio on the Rio Grande River to
Denison on the Red River with the exception of certain counties proximate to the east side of the
described line -- Edwards, Real, Kimble, Mason, McCullough, Comanche, Erath, and Denton. In all, there
were 138 counties of the State surveyed. Those 116 counties not investigated comprise the geographical
region known as West Texas."
Todd Webb, commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum as a professional photographer, worked from a prescribed
building list developed by the Texas Architecture Survey. Although Field Director Garner did not work in
West Texas, Todd Webb was able to photograph several buildings in the region. His photographic coverage
often followed Garner's preliminary work but does not mirror it. No documentation exists to establish the
terms or period of employment for Todd Webb, but his shot logs date from March 1964 to
October 1966.
All materials accrued by the field investigation were deposited [as of 1965] either in Fort Worth or Austin
by Field Director Garner upon termination of his duties. Principally, all record photographs were left in
the security of Professor Alexander at the University of Texas, while all equipment and supplies were
returned to the Carter Museum. Todd Webb continued working throughout 1966.
The TAS also relied on external collections of historical photographs to aid the selection of outstanding
buildings for the survey and publications. The Amon Carter printed negatives produced by architect and
historian David Williams. The TAS also acquired the Gus Cranz collection of historic Texas architecture from
his widow and son. Records also include what was internally termed by the TAS as the "Texas Frontier
Architecture File."
Todd Webb’s work was intended for gallery exhibition at the ACM and publication in two architectural history
books. The TAS collection contains all of his shot logs, contact sheets, contact and study prints,
negatives, and a selection of large prints. The descriptive information is not standardized, although many
photographs are identified by building name, street address, general location, city, county, previous
resident, or other data.
Todd Webb did not use the same classification filing system for his photographs as Garner. The Webb
photographic negatives are arranged by Amon Carter Museum (ACM) accession numbers.
Two books resulted from the TAS project, which are illustrated exclusively with Todd Webb photographs: Texas Homes of the Nineteenth Century written by Professor Drury Blakeley
Alexander of UT-Austin (published by The University of Texas Press for the Amon Carter Museum in 1966) and
Texas Public Buildings of the Nineteenth Century by Professor Willard B.
Robinson of Texas Tech University (published by The University of Texas Press for the Amon Carter Museum in
1974). The records in the TAS collection include a reference document for matching Todd Webb negatives with
pages and plates in the two publications.
In 1969, the Amon Carter transferred the bulk of the TAS collection to the University of Texas. Professor
Blake Alexander may have retained some items as well. The "Texas Frontier Architecture File" records were
donated by Garner in 1986, followed by another gift of large exhibit panels from the Amon Carter in 1987.
The large exhibition panels are not considered part of the collection. In 2002, the Amon Carter transferred
several boxes of material including the Gus Cranz and David Williams reference collections, and Todd Webb
photographic material. In 2004, the Visual Resources Collection donated the field slides (35 mm) taken by
Garner.

Todd Webb (1905-2000) was an American photographer who befriended Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe,
with works held by over 15 museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
NY; the Chicago Art Institute, IL; and the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY. Referred to as “an historian
with a camera,” Webb was an established photographer when commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum to produce
photographic works for the Texas Architecture Survey. Webb was already working with the Carter to exhibit a
solo show, Early Western Trails and Some Ghost Towns [Photographs by Todd
Webb] that ran from November 25, 1965–January 16, 1966.
During this era, Webb and his wife Lucille spent 10 years living in New Mexico, near Georgia O'Keeffe.
Information from http://www.toddwebbphotographs.com/about_todd.html
Todd Webb had two successful exhibitions at the Amon Carter featuring his work with the TAS: Texas Homes of the Nineteenth Century [Photographs by Todd Webb], October 27, 1966–January 1967; and Texas Public
Buildings of the Nineteenth Century [Photographs by Todd Webb], November 14, 1974–January 5, 1975.
Return to the Table of Contents
The collection includes the administrative records of the Texas Architecture Survey (1963-1966). The
strengths of this collection are (1) the documentary "building description lists" containing information on
individual buildings and (2) photographic documentation of nineteenth century buildings in Texas as they
appeared circa 1964 and 1965. Building description lists may include field notes about building dates of
construction, names of former owners, and notes on architectural details of public buildings, private homes,
and other structures. The Texas Architecture Survey (TAS) created two sets of images for its own mission.
Field Director John Garner took 35 mm slide transparencies for reference and review, while Todd Webb
produced professional, documentary photographs using 120 mm or larger film negatives. The UT School of
Architecture purchased Garner's original set of slides, which are now part of the Texas Architecture Survey
records. Todd Webb’s photographic documentation includes negatives, contact sheets, contact prints and large
prints, indexes to buildings photographed, and shot logs. The TAS relied on reference collections of prints
and negatives acquired by Professor Alexander, Gus Cranz, David Williams and other photographers. These
reference materials guided location scouting and survey selection.

Series Abstract |
|
The Texas Architecture Survey (TAS) was active from 1963-1966, followed by a period of record
management of Todd Webb prints (and negatives) by the Amon Carter Museum until 2002. John Garner
served as Field Director of the Survey from January 1964 until June 1965, working across Texas to
document historical building facts and acquire preliminary reference imagery. TAS administrative
documents include field reports, correspondence, academic reports, and a card index of regional
personal contacts. Administrative documents from the Amon Carter Museum detail operating budgets and
indices of Todd Webb photographic negatives, prints, and images as published in the two resulting
architecture books. These indices are excellent resources for locating photographs within a Texas
city. |

The following documents were produced during the administration and management of the Texas
Architecture Survey from 1964-1966. John Garner worked
simultaneously as a graduate student in the School of Architecture of the University of Texas and
on commission as the Survey Field Director for the Amon Carter Museum. Garner filed several types
of field reports: operations logs, operations projections, and field reports submitted to both the
Museum and to the University. These brief dated reports include weather conditions, miles driven,
number of rolls of film exposed, descriptions of personal contacts and their recommendations, and a
few lines of text about buildings surveyed. Series A also includes correspondence to coordinate
schedules and operations among Garner, Professor Blake Alexander of the University of Texas, Eugene
George, AIA (teaching in Kansas in 1964) and Mitchell A. Wilder, the Director of the Amon Carter
Museum. |

In 2002, the Amon Carter Museum of Fort Worth, Texas de-accessioned all remaining items from the
Texas Architecture Survey, including their own administrative records detailing catalog indices and
accession records for Todd Webb photographic images and negatives. The accession record numbers
assigned by the Amon Carter Museum cover all Todd Webb negatives, and begin with P1977.12.1 for his
first frame. An administrative binder maintained by the Museum was disassembled and items were
sequentially rehoused into archival folders 2-12 through 2-18. The binder was entitled “Index to
the Texas Architecture Survey Negatives by Todd Webb 1966.” The indices to Todd Webb photographs
are a useful resource for locating information about buildings in a specific town. It is also
advised to use the indices in conjunction with the two published books, as the indices include
detailed references to page numbers and image plate numbers. |

Series B: John Garner and Texas Architecture Survey Field Documentation and Photographic
Material, circa 1964-1965 and undated 13,233 color slides (35 mm), and 0.3 linear feet of textual materials |
|
Series Abstract |
|
|
|
As Field Director, Garner created 35 mm slides and paper documentation of historical buildings to
supplement additional slides created by Professor Alexander and others. All slides were reviewed by
the Texas Architecture Survey and were later re-used in architecture lectures. Slides are hand-labeled
with the county-city-building number abbreviation system used by Garner and the TAS. Descriptive
labels were added later by Visual Resource Collection staff in the School of Architecture, following
the bulk purchase of the original slide collection. Slides are stored in metal cabinets and are
arranged alphabetically by Texas county. Within each county, slides are grouped by city. There are
also a few slides from Mexico. Slides can be examined against information in the building description
lists, although there is not perfect accordance between the two. |
|
|
|
In his "student research report to Professor Kermacy" (1964) Garner states, "Each structure surveyed is field photographed by the Field Director [Garner] as a recording
measure ... An index-identification system for the slides was not developed until toward the close
of field activities for District 1, when a conclusive system was adopted. The individual code as
developed is made up of a series of letters and numbers that indicates the county, town or
vicinity, and chronological order of a particular structure. Each county within a given district is
accorded a code made up of the initial letter of the county name, written in upper case. Where
several counties exhibit identical initial letters, then a second letter, written in lower case, is
taken from the county name and added following the initial letter. Each town or vicinity within the
county where photographs were made is also coded, again by a combination of initial and second
letters, upper and lower case. ... Following the two combined alphabetized codes and separated by a
dash mark is an Arabic numeral designating the numerical order of the particular structure
photographed. This order, although arbitrary, usually follows the sequence observed in the Field
Report, which closely approximates the order in which the structures were viewed in the field and
serves only as a numbering sequence. Each transparency is thus coded and so noted on the Building
Description List." |
|
|
|
After being transferred to the School of Architecture in the late 1970's, the slides were duplicated
on request. Red marks indicate slides duplicated for Professor Blake Alexander, yellow marks indicate
duplicates for lecture series, and dark blue represents special requests by faculty. There is also a
separate set of slides, with 271 duplicates made for the Amon Carter Museum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The electronic index to the TAS slides details known information for each slide, with descriptions
indentifying the District, County, City, Building, Street Address, Date of Building, Item Count, View
(Exterior, Interior), TAS Building Code, and Archivists' Notes. The index is available to download in
either Excel (.xls) or Portable Document Format (.pdf). |

Series C: Todd Webb - Photographic Material and Documentation, 1964-1966 and undated 1,669 black and white prints and 3,609 black and white negatives, paper documentation (8.57
linear feet) |
|
Todd Webb was commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum (ACM) to professionally photograph selected sites
and buildings, using information from Field Director Garner's initial survey work. Todd Webb (TW)
recorded extensive shot logs, detailing trip sequences (labeled A-H) and roll numbers for his 120 mm
film. Todd Webb also worked with 4x5 inch film, 5x7 inch and 8x10 inch film, recording detailed images
of hundreds of Texas buildings. His entire body of work is in black and white, consisting of 3,609
frames. Frequent building types photographed include county courthouses, churches, and historical
homes from nineteenth-century Texas. |
|
|
|
|
|
Guide to Accessing Work by Todd Webb: |
|
To locate buildings, cities, counties, or construction styles of interest:
- Consult index cards, arranged alphabetically by city, listing every geographic location
photographed with 120 mm film [Subseries C1]
- Read the descriptive shot logs that accompany the contact sheet prints of 120 mm film
[Subseries C2]
- Consult contact sheets printed for all black and white 120 mm negatives [Subseries C2]
- Review contact prints made from large format negatives (black and white) [Subseries
C3]
- Examine working prints (printed at several enlargement sizes, arranged by city) [Subseries
C4]
- Review 10x13 inch enlargement prints (289 prints, black and white) of select buildings
[Subseries C6]
- Consult the two books published with select Todd Webb images [black and white printing,
available in Architecture and Planning Library, University of Texas]
- Search either version of the spreadsheet included in this finding aid (.xls, .pdf)

|
|
The ACM initially cataloged all Todd Webb negatives, assigning sequential accession numbers to 819
photographic shot locations (P1977.12.1-819), encompassing a total of 3,609 frames. The key to the ACM numbers is:
- the collection number is P1977.12 – this prefix is universal across all items
- the numbers 1 through 819 refer to shot location, or to the unique roll number
- the roll number designation applies to items 1 through 302, which are rolls of 120 mm
film
- the frame number from a roll of 120 mm film is designated as a suffix to the accession
number. For example, the accession number P1977.12.180.4 refers to Roll #180, Frame 4
- The ACM number is also a key to identifying the size of the film negative used by Todd Webb,
where: P1977.12.1-302 (120mm film), P1977.12.303-326 (8 × 10 inch), P1977.12.327-681 (5 × 7
inch), and P1977.12.682-819 (4 × 5 inch).

The paper card index, arranged alphabetically by town or city, lists every building and location
photographed by Todd Webb using 120 mm film. The creator of the index is unknown. The index cards
provide the city, subject matter, Todd Webb film roll number, and frame number (for example:
GALVESTON, Interior Stairway of old Federal Courthouse, Roll 7C, frames 1-5). This information can
be used to locate the image on the Todd Webb contact sheets, which are arranged by Rolls 1-35, then
Rolls A-H, with every roll given a number (for example: Roll A2, A3). This subseries also includes
a folder of photographic listings. |

Subseries C2: Captions (shot log and contact sheets) for 120 mm film
1.25 linear feet |
|
|
|
Three different, unique sets of contact sheets were printed from Todd Webb's 120 mm film negatives.
Provenance for each set is unclear, although they may have been used for editing purposes to
compile images for the two book publications or two museum exhibitions. Set 1 contains accompanying
shot logs (typed) detailing the subject and location of images. A copy of the shot log (titles) for
the negatives can also be found in the Administrative Records of the Amon Carter Museum, in
Subseries A2. |

Some Webb prints were originally stored in binders at the ACM, prior to the transfer to the
Alexander Architectural Archive in 2002. These prints may have been work or study prints for
internal use at the Amon Carter or by the Texas Architecture Survey, as a printing date is not
indicated. Some prints are contact prints. There are frequent duplicates. Many prints include Amon
Carter accession numbers and some include Todd Webb shot roll numbers. All prints are black and
white. Loose prints are arranged alphabetically by city. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several indices are available to all Todd Webb negatives, including searchable electronic resources
(see below). Photographic negative size formats consist of 120 mm, 4x5 inch, 5x7 inch, and 8x10
inch black and white negatives shot by Todd Webb in 1966. He recorded 3,609 frames. When working
with 120 mm film rolls, Webb often captured 9 or 12 image frames per roll. |
|
|
|
Negatives are arranged sequentially by Amon Carter Museum accession number. The ACM number
incorporates the roll and frame number of every image. The 120 mm roll film negatives were given
accession numbers in the range (P1977.12.1-302), but individual negatives are identified by the
additional suffix number 1 through 9, which corresponds to the handwritten number present on the
contact sheets (for example P1977.12.136.8 refers to Roll #136, Frame 8). Larger format negatives
have been assigned these accession numbers: P1977.12.303-326 (8x10 inch), P1977.12.327-681 (5x7
inch), and P1977.12.682-819 (4x5 inch). The photographic negatives are not stored in alphabetical
order by city, but in sequence by Amon Carter accession number. |

|
Arrangement: alphabetical by Texas county, then by city |
|
|
|
Twelve oversize boxes house 10x13 inch enlargements (289 prints) of select Todd Webb prints. The
selection decision for printing these images is not clearly documented in the collection, but these
are a representative sampling of the Webb's work done for the two books and two exhibitions.
Additional information can often be found on the reverse of prints (such as a numbering system with
examples like "TW-217") and has not been included in this finding aid. Some prints are mounted on
boards while other prints are unmounted. There are duplicates among the prints and across multiple
boxes. The prints have been re-arranged since original receipt and are now stored alphabetically by
Texas county. Documentation listing original receipt order has been saved and is included in the
records. |

Series D: Reference Collection: Gus Cranz Photographic Material undated 1,272 black and white photographs, plus items in original binder (4.4 linear feet) |

Little is known about Gus Cranz of Fort Worth, Texas. His photographic collection appears to have been

binder storage numbers are written on the folders to preserve original order as received. |

Series E: Reference Collection: David (Dave) Williams Photographic Material undated 1,668 black and white photographic prints, 30 contact sheets, 35 mm copy negatives, and paper
documentation (3.75 linear feet) |
|
|
|
In his "student research report to Professor Kermacy" (1964), Field Director Garner notes that: "Two additional private photographic collections of significance are also known
to the Survey, and have provided valuable assistance. The Dave Williams Collection is a series of
photographs of some well known and many vernacular structures recorded just after the turn of the
century. This collection forms a valuable research tool, with its emphasis on native building
methods and materials, as evidenced by the subject matter of the photographs." |
|
|
|
"The Williams Collection provides an example subject for discussion of the
handling of such private collections when they come into the hands of the Survey. In this instance,
the collection had never been printed as a whole body and consisted principally of processed
negatives. There was no order to the collection, and these negatives were uncatalogued and
unidentified. Some had been printed in the positive format, and Williams' original identification
was found on these. Several knowledgeable individuals [Professors Blake Alexander and Eugene
George] had examined the collection subsequent to that time and had grouped the negatives by
geographical areas. Access to this collection was secured by the Survey, [via Eugene George,] and
it was decided to accept the responsibility of printing the collection and of identifying the
structures." |
|
Garner continues writing, saying that, "three sets [of Williams prints] were
indicated; one for the Museum, one for The University, and one set for the Field Director. This
last set was to be carried in the field and an attempt made to identify the photographs. All
photographs were printed to the same size, and binders with clear plastic sleeves were secured to
hold them." |
|
Records do not clearly indicate if this plan was successfully completed, as there is no clear
original order or detailed identification for the prints. |
