Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Kurke & Associates architectural records include the following four series: Print Material, Blueprint, Drawing, and Photographs. The Print Material Series is arranged chronologically by date. The Blueprint Series is arranged alphabetically by state, then city. Within each city the blueprints are arranged chronologically by the project date. The Drawing Series is arranged alphabetically by building, if known..

The Print Material Series spans the years 1935 to 1962. The Series consists of one box of print material, including mostly specifications and historical and biographical information. The Print Material Series is located in Mss 196.

The Blueprint Series spans the years 1915 to 1963. The Series consists of nine drawers of blueprints. The buildings within the blueprints are predominantly located in North Dakota, with a few in South Dakota and Minnesota, and also in Michigan. Each building is referenced by its project name and date indicated on the blueprint. Beneath each project name is/was the address for the building (if in the address is a possible address). Buildings of interest include the Liberty Memorial Bldg. in Bismarck, N.D.; the First National Bank Bldg., the L.B. Hanna Residence, Union Storage and Transfer, all in Fargo, N.D.; and several buildings at the State Hospital in Jamestown, N.D.

The Drawing Series contains presentation drawings from various projects around North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. The drawings span the years from 1954 to 1960, with numerous drawings being undated. Some drawings remain in the Blueprint Series because they contain informational blueprints on the same page. Likewise, there are some blueprints that possess artistic qualities, but if they had more informational value they were left in the Blueprint Series. Presentation drawings of interest include a large number from the Minot Air Force Base, Minot, N.D. The Drawing Series contains 66 individual drawings.
