Photographer Maynard L Parker at the Huntington Library

Los Angeles-based architectural photographer Maynard L. Parker captured postwar suburban homes designed by noted architects such as Paul Williams, Richard Neutra and Cliff May for Architectural Digest, Sunset and House Beautiful, among others.

Now, Parker’s archive of nearly 58,000 photographs, negatives and other materials — donated to the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in 1996 — is accessible through the Huntington’s website using the keywords “Maynard Parker.”

There is also this great slide show with a great commentary by their photography curator Jennifer Watts on their site, read more and see it here

I love the houses and the photographs…thanks Laurie K for sending me the LA Times piece!

A book has also been published – see it here
