| Corporal George Maguolo, n.d. |
The son of Italian immigrants, George J. Maguolo studied architecture at Washington University before entering the army in November 1917. Maguolo’s military experience was unique because as a draftsman, he spent very little time on the front lines and had ample opportunity to travel and study his craft. Maguolo served in France until 1919, when he returned to St. Louis to resume his studies at Washington University. The collection contains correspondence from Maguolo to his parents, sister and brother, Sergeant America Maguolo. The collection also contains programs, brochures, photos and a sketchbook of drawings. For more information about the Magoulo papers, refer to our blog post: The Architect Turned Soldier.
