The Gottscho-Schleisner Collection is a collection of images by two architectural photographers Samuel H. Gottscho and William H Schleisner.

The collection has over 29,000 images, with a majority of architectural subjects that include interiors and exteriors of offices, homes, factories, historic buildings and others.

Most of the architectural subjects that you see here are directed towards the areas of Northeastern U.S, with a majority of them taken in New York city and Florida. The collection includes photographs of notable Americans such as Raymond Loewy and some U.S. presidents.

So Who Was Samuel Gottscho?

Samuel Herman Gottscho – an American architectural photographer who had a great love for nature, landscape and rural life. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1875 and acquired his first camera in 1896.

Between 1896 and 1920, Samuel photographed part-time while working as a traveling salesman for lace and fabric.

Samuel particularly photographed houses and gardens as he enjoyed landscapes and rural life. His interest in architectural photography led him to attend several exhibitions and to get in touch with building and landscape architects to perfect his photographic work.

On the 21st of June 1934, Samuel photographed the North facade of the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Samuel who was focussing on nature and landscape photography, eventually turned his focus on architectural photography. He became a professional commercial photographer at the age of 50.
