The Clarksville Architecture Book Research Collection houses the photographs featured in John Halliburton’s book, Clarksville Architecture. The bulk of the collection dates from 1977 to 1978, except for one newspaper which is from 2011. This collection, consists of photographs, negatives, newspaper clippings, advertisements, and personal letters, documenting the progress and creation of Halliburton’s book. The collection records some of Clarksville’s most architecturally significant buildings and preserves examples of fine architecture. The photographs highlight a variety of public buildings, residences, churches, and apartment buildings, speaking to their history and the need for preservation. Several of the buildings featured in the book had been torn down before it was published, and replaced by parking lots during a wave of modernization. The collection may be useful to anyone conducting property or genealogical research, or anyone interested in Clarksville’s architectural styles.
