Josias Joesler was "an architectural linguist" conversant in many styles, said architectural historian R. Brooks Jeffery, who spoke about the topic at the opening of an exhibition of Joesler drawings at the University of Arizona Library Special Collections.
Jeffery, director of the college's Drachman Institute, is also its de facto archivist and historian. Showing the papers of the Joesler-Murphey archive, housed off campus, had become a burden.
It was far and away the most popular archive, with demand coming mostly from owners of Joesler homes or the real estate agents selling them, he said.
