His projects include such significant urban office towers as the Lever House in midtown Manhattan, as well as modern office campuses set in natural landscapes, including such examples as the American Can Company in Greenwich, Connecticut or the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company headquarters in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Additionally, his interest in art caused him to actively integrate work by well-known modern artists into the public plazas and interiors of SOM's projects. The professional aspects of this collection can be found in clippings, project photography, oral history records, and publications, however, the majority of the collection is personal and reflects the life of Gordon and his wife Nina Bunshaft. Through correspondence, snapshots, objects, and personal papers the collection focuses on the Bunshafts' friends, their travels, and their impressive art collection of both modern and ancient sculptures and paintings.

John Barrington Bayley negatives and photographs
5 document boxesJohn Barrington Bayley was an architect and preservationist born in 1914 in Berkeley, CA and died in 1981 in Newport, RI. After serving in WWII, he attended the American Academy in Rome where his life-long dedication to Classical architecture bloomed. From 1947-1950, he traveled widely throughout Italy and other European countries, documenting Renaissance. Neoclassical, and Antique architecture in black and white photographs. Often devoid of people, his photographs–at once eerie and stunning–animate Classical and Neoclassical architecture, interiors, furniture, and sculpture as personages in their own right. Bayley returned to the United States with an estimated 10,000 photographs, of which this collection is but a sample. Many were published in various books and periodicals, including his own Classical America. This collection is exclusively image-based. For correspondence and writings, see the Henry Hope Reed papers (linked below under Related Materials).
