Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Lloyd Richard Lotz, Sr. (1927-2013) was an architect who lived his entire life in Louisville, Kentucky. The youngest of eight children, Lotz graduated from Manual High School in 1945 and began working as a draftsman with the Thomas J. Nolan and Sons architectural firm. While never formally trained in architecture, Lotz earned his architectural license and was a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for over 50 years. By 1954 he worked at Otis and Grimes, Architects. In 1966 he established a partnership with Garwood Grimes that was known as Grimes and Lotz. He later worked as an architect for Hubbuch and Associates and Dahlem Construction. From 1961 to 2010, he often worked on his own as Lloyd R. Lotz, Sr., Architect or as Lotz and Associates.
- Lotz was active in his community through numerous positions in Boy Scouts of America; singing as a baritone in the Thoroughbred Chorus barbershop quartet, and being a life-long member of Third Lutheran Church in Louisville. He also maintained a passion for coin and stamp collecting, and amassed a large collection by the time of his death in 2013.
- Scope and Content
- The Lloyd R. Lotz, Sr. architectural drawings (dated 1947-2010; 6 cubic feet; 2 flat file drawers) comprise architectural drawings that document churches, banks, hospitals, residences, and other structures in Kentucky and Indiana that Lotz designed or assisted with the design. The structures represented in the collection are all in Kentucky, particularly the Louisville area, except for one bank building located in Seymour, Indiana. Architecture firms represented in the collection include Lotz operating under his own name, as well as Grimes and Lotz; Lotz and Dahlem; Otis and Grimes; Mansell, Lewis and Fugate; and McCulloch and Bickel. The collection includes complete architectural drawing sets for many of the structures, but in some cases there are only preliminary or presentation drawings.
