BIOGRPAPHICAL NOTE

Leicester B. Holland (1882-1952) was born in Louisville, Kentucky on May 23, 1882. He studied Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and received his Ph.D. in 1919. From 1913 to 1918 he taught Architectural Design and the History of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He was a gifted architect, art historian, and archaeologist who served the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as Fellow in Architecture from 1920-1921, and as the school’s Associate Professor of Architecture from 1921-1923. In the time spent in Greece, Holland worked at the School’s excavations in Corinth, Colophon, and Zygouries and as architect in Mycenae. Holland worked extensively on the Erechtheion and published accordingly the “Erechtheum Papers I-IV” in the American Journal of Archaeology in 1924. He intended to publish a comprehensive volume but it was never completed.

From 1925 to 1927 he was Professor of Fine Arts at Vassar and then continued his career as the Chief of Fine Arts at the Library of Congress from 1929-1943. In 1944 he worked in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Holland also taught Classical Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College, 1945-1946. In 1947, he served as the American School’s architect at the Corinth excavations, and the following year he taught architecture at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. This was his final academic position.

He was an active member of the American Institute of Architecture, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, and the Archaeological Institute of America. Holland also worked as historian and architect for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). He published The Garden Bluebook: A Manual of the Perennial Garden in 1915. With his wife, Louise Adams Holland, they wrote “Down the Tiber on a Raft” published in Archaeology in 1950.

Known for his whimsical humor and kind nature, Holland’s character and scholarly reputation is best noted in his obituary by James P. Harland (56:3, 1952): “If not a genius, as he has been called, he was at least most ingenious. Certainly, he combined sound scholarship, based on an excellent training in both the practical and the theoretical, with an extraordinary imagination, often with brilliant results."

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The collection has been organized into five series.

SERIES I: Personal and Professional Correspondence (Boxes 1-2). Personal and professional correspondence contains letters associated with committees, publications, excavations, inscriptions, and on architecture curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of faculty from 1913-1946. Also included in this series is a large amount of material and correspondence relating to the “resignation” of Bert Hodge Hill and the tributary dedication volume of AJA that followed subsequently.

SERIES II: Manuscripts (Box 3). Manuscripts contains papers on various subjects including the original location of the Capitoline Fasti, a part of the large Peisistratid building south of the Erechtheum indicating a prytaneum as successor to a Mycenean megaron, a study of candelabrum thymiaterion, the reconstruction of the Etruscan Temple and the study of the religious architecture that preceded Rome, and other papers that attest to Holland’s gift not only as an architect but also as an art historian and visionary.

SERIES III: Erechtheum (Boxes 4-6). Erechtheum material includes offprints of the published Erechtheum papers, published and non-published material concerning the Erechtheum including typed and handwritten manuscript drafts, excavation reports, motif comparisons, reference note cards, and special attention to the interpretation of Greek technical terms, woodworks and ceiling construction.

SERIES IV: Lectures, Articles and Notes (Box 7). Lectures, articles and notes involve various topics concerning architecture, various notes on headdresses, and some miscellaneous items including copies of the The Bibelot series, and a few small drawings and embossments.

SERIES V: Photographs, Slides, Drawings, and Books (Boxes 8-25, Tubes 1-8). This series includes small and large photos and drawings of Erechtheum and non-Erechtheum material. The topics of the drawings are a broad assortment of architectural subjects including façade reconstructions, Delian ceilings, the walls of Athens, megaron comparisons, The Palace of Mycenae, cross-site roofing comparisons, and material from Holland’s published works and non-published works. In addition, the book and plates of Erechtheum, Measured, Drawn and Restored (Cambridge, Mass. 1927) as Leicester Holland collaborated with Gorham Stevens on several of the plates. Also included are several architectural large-scale reconstructions of the Erechtheum concerning ceiling and beam construction, the Opaion, and the West Wall façade. Other items concern Doric entablature reconstruction, the house blueprints of the Kakoulidou house in Palaio Faliron, the Alice Leslie Walker residence, and a women’s hostel in Arcadia, Peloponnese. Holland travelled extensively and this series contains many photos of the excursions and archaeological sites he visited in Greece, Egypt, Italy, and France, as well as photos of persons associated with the American School.
