The Welton Becket architectural
drawings and photographs document the career of this architect whose iconic designs defined
the built environment of Los Angeles in the mid-twentieth century. Comprised of over 10,000
drawings and over 1500 photographs, the collection includes a selection of projects from
Becket's earliest independent work in 1930, through his involvement in the firms of Plummer,
Wurdeman and Becket; Wurdeman and Becket; and Welton Becket and Associates, until his death
in 1969. The archive also contributes to the discussion of structural and theoretical
changes in architectural practice in the mid-twentieth century.
