- The firm Chloethiel Woodard Smith & Associated Architects was operated by award-winning architect Chloethiel Woodard Smith as principal from 1963 to 1982. The firm's most influential work in Washington, D.C., was the urban renewal project carried out in the Southwest quadrant. Most of the designs produced for the Southwest quadrant project are represented in the Chloethiel Woodard Smith & Associated Architects Archive (Library of Congress). Other projects designed by Smith, either in private practice or as a partner in several other firms, include the United States Chancery and Ambassador's residence in Asunciǹ¤, Paraguay; the unbuilt Consolidated Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Beltsville, Maryland; La Clede Town, a riverfront neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri; and the unrealized master plan for Arverne in Queens, New York. Before organizing Chloethiel Woodard Smith & Associated Architects, Smith was in partnership with Arthur H. Keyes, Jr., Nicholas Satterlee, and Francis Lethbridge in the firm of Keyes, Smith, Satterlee & Lethbridge from 1951 to 1956 and with Nicholas Satterlee in the firm of Satterlee & Smith from 1956 to 1963.

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.
