The Library is currently hosting a small display on the works of William Hajjar, Philip Hallock & Kenneth Heidrich, three influential architects in the State College area. The exhibit is based on larger exhibits curated by Robert Malcolm and offer a preview to a new digital collection that the Libraries is working on. The exhibit will be up through the Fall 2012 Semester.
Abraham William Hajjar known as “Bill” to his friends and admirers and “Wild Bill” to his detractors received degrees from the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and taught at penn State during the 1950s and early 1960s. He also maintained an active professional practice in the area, with the bulk of his houses located in the College heights and Holmes Foster neighborhoods.
Further information on Hajjar's designs can be found in the online exhibit "Hajjar Heritage: A Centre Region Treasure" as well as the exhibit catalog of the same name housed in the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library Collection.
Hailing from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, Hallock majored in Architecture at Penn State, graduating in 1936. After several years various firms and a stint in the navy during World War II, Hallock returned to State College in 1947 and started his own practice. Shortly thereafter he joined the Architecture faculty at Penn State where he taught and maintained an active practice until his retirement in 1979. With numerous houses and buildings in the State College area, Hallock is best known for his purple house and purple classic Corvette on South Fraser Street where he still resides today.
Further information on Hallock's designs can be found in the exhibit catalog "Hallock's (Mostly) Hidden houses : Buildings in the Centre Region" housed in the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library Collection. An online esxhibit of the same name will be completed in the following months.
Ohio born Heidrich received degrees from Carnegie Institute of Technology and Princeton started his teaching career at Oklahoma State before coming tio Penn State in 1937 where he taught until 1950, when he retired to focus on his private practice in the area. While perhaps the first modernist architect in the area, Heidrich is not as recognized as his other post World War II contemporaries. Indirectly his work is known by thousands of locals as one of the members of the design group of the High School on Westerly Parkway as well as the Radio park Elementary School.
Further information on Heidrich's designs can be found in the exhibit catalog "Heidrich : The Quiet H" housed in the Architecture & Landscape Architecture Library Collection. An online esxhibit of the same name will be completed in the following months.
