Summary: Primarily architectural drawings by Charles M. Goodman and his firm for commercial and residential buildings and housing developments in Washington, D.C., and surrounding suburbs. Goodman designed over 400 built projects, primarily residences, including single family, multi-family, and apartment complexes. Goodman also designed airports, churches, government buildings, office buildings, universities and schools, and urban renewal projects, among others. Notable built projects include: Alcoa House, The Commons, Hollin Hills, River Park, Rock Creek Palisades, United States Post Offices, the Unitarian Church of Arlington, Washington DC Southwest Urban Renewal, Washington National Airport, Westgate and Westpark Research Parks. Visual and textual materials document various phases of the design process, through preliminary sketches to working drawings, as well as photographs and specifications of built projects. The archive also includes engineering drawings and landscape architecture drawings by other creators, such as Dan Kiley and Lou Bernard Voigt.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)
- Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
  
  As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
- No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
- Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
- No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
