Collection Overview

Biography / History
Byron Foster Romanowitz received a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Kentucky in 1951 acting as a member of a number of honor societies and a social fraternity. He went on to graduate from Princeton University in 1954 with a Master's degree in Architecture. His time at the school was highlighted by his experience as a part time instructor in undergraduate architectural design, as well as his involvement as the leader of the jazz combo "The Princetonians". Byron looked to further his education more, pursuing a Ph.D. as well, but was interrupted by his service in the United States Naval Reserve Civil Engineering Corps as a Lieutenant Commander, constructing buildings and airfields. Throughout his life Byron followed his passion for music and jazz, playing the tenor saxophone with a variety of combos and groups at a multitude of venues. A registered architect and engineer, Romanowitz was once the president of Johnson Romanowitz Architects and Planners, a large architectural firm in Lexington, Kentucky. The firm took on jobs for a number of prominent buildings throughout the central Kentucky area including Rupp Arena, the Louisville Free Public Library, as well as some on both the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville campuses.
Men of Note a group originally started by hobbiest jazz players, was an popular ensamble in the central Kentucky area. Playing a variety of public and private events, the group was often sought after for their jazz performances from the 1960s into the early aughts.
