Abstract:
Thomas P. Dockendorff is an Emeritus Professor of Geography at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota and has an interest in the La Crosse, Wisconsin, architectural firm of Parkinson and Dockendorff. Bernard Dockendorff and English-born Albert E. Parkinson designed many of the most significant surviving Early Modern (1900-1940) commercial and public buildings in La Crosse, Wis., under the aegis of Parkinson and Dockendorff Architects including many school buildings, Catholic churches, commercial structures, and residences.

This collection consists of the research materials created and gathered by Thomas P. Dockendorf regarding the architectural legacy of Parkinson & Dockendorff in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, with the majority of documented structures in Wisconsin in the La Crosse, Wis., area. The collection is divided into two series of descriptive information labeled Subject Files (which includes indices of Parkinson and Dockendorff designed buildings, and correspondence, papers and research material of Thomas P. Dockendorff concerning Parkinson and Dockendorff), and Visual Materials (which include 4” x 6 “ prints and 35 mm color slides of known Parkinson & Dockendorff designed buildings taken during the period 1990-1997). The collection does not include architectural drawings of the firm.
