Karl Kamrath (1911-1988) grew up in Austin, Texas and earned his Bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Texas at Austin in 1934. His early career was spent in Chicago but he moved back to Texas in 1937 and became a partner in the firm of MacKie and Kamrath, one of the first Houston firms credited with creating modern architecture. The collection includes records of Kamrath's personal life, professional practice, interest in Frank Lloyd Wright, and association with partner Fred MacKie. Drawings, artwork, textual and photographic materials document the life and work of the Houston architect.
