Artistic Collaboration at Lourdes College

Toledo architect Willfred D. Holtzman and Mother M. Adelaide work on the design for the ceiling tiles of the Duns Scotus Library. Mother M. Adelaide was an avid ameteur architect and her ideas and influence, combined with Holtzman's design sense and expertise made Lourdes College the gem it is. The picture was taken in 1950. The other nuns are Mother Justinian and Sr. M. Michaeline.
Willfred Holtzman had a wonderful willingness to collaborate with the clergy. He and Msgr. Sawkins designed the tower caps at Immaculate Conception, in the Old South End.
In a curious bit of coincidence, the Blade recently published a letter to the editor from Holtzman's son, lamenting the destruction of the architect's favorite design. HERE it is.
