Information
about James and Belle Dinwiddie
James
Dinwiddie (1854-1942) was born to James and Agnes Mitchell Dinwiddie
in Dunfries, Scotland. After living in Cincinnati, Ohio, for
a number of years, he came to Fayetteville (Washington County),
Arkansas where he became the city building inspector. Dinwiddie
became a well-known Fayetteville architect whose buildings included
St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Fayetteville, St. Joseph's Catholic
Church in Tontitown, Springdale Methodist Church, and Mountainburg
Church. Dinwiddie's
niece, Belle Dinwiddie (1895-1978), was born in Fayetteville
to Robert R. and Annie Dinwiddie. She practiced in both Fayetteville
and Rogers. Her designs included several Fayetteville Farm
Cooperative buildings, the First Baptist Church Educational
Building in Fayetteville, and additions to Welch's Grape Juice
Factory in Springdale.
Information
about the Collection The
papers contain twenty-one sets of drawings. James Dinwiddie's
drawings encompass sets 1-10, while Belle Dinwiddie's drawings
encompass sets 11-19. Drawings of Haralson and Nelson Architects
of Fort Smith comprise set 20; they were discovered with the
Dinwiddie drawings, but their connection with them, if any,
is unknown. Set 21 is a collection of unidentified drawings,
possibly those of Belle Dinwiddie. Some of the sets contain
general specifications and other papers. Numbers in brackets
indicate the number of items in each set.
Christine Hilker, of the University of Arkansas School of
Architecture, transferred these drawings to Special Collections
in January, 1988.
Processed
by Anthony J. Wappel, Special Collections, University of Arkansas
