Collection Features

The Leonard B. Willeke Collection of historical postcards is a remarkable and unique example of a young architect's exposure to European architecture.  Willeke's collection of images, amended with notations and sketches, speaks to his love of stone, of form and mass, and of architecture.  An analysis of his own work as an accomplished architect reflects on his early travels and exposure to the monuments of Europe.
