Collection 107. Allison Owen, Sr. Drawings
Original drawings by New Orleans architect Allison Owen, Sr. (1869-1951). Most are charcoal sketches made by Owen while a student at Tulane University in the late 1880s. Sketches are mostly of plaster casts of classical statuary and architectural fragments. There are also two watercolor drawings of designs for the Confederate Memorial Hall, built in 1891. Owen was a partner in the firm of Diboll and Owen (Collins Cere Diboll, Sr., 1869-1936), one of the leading architectural firms in early twentieth-century New Orleans.
