Lloyd Winchell Biebigheiser Collection
Special Collections & Archives
Lloyd Winchell Biebigheiser (1884-1961) was an architect and designer trained in the Beaux Arts tradition. Biebigheiser was hired by architect Jens Fredrik Larson to design the ornamental features for Wake Forest College's new Winston-Salem campus, including lighting fixtures and chandeliers, stone and wood carvings, and wrought iron designs.
While working on the Wake Forest campus, Biebigheiser documented the progress of the construction with more than 500 slide photographs. Beginning with the groundbreaking ceremony in 1951 and ending with the first Convocation on the new campus in 1956, this collection provides a photographic history of nearly every aspect of the Reynolda campus construction. The collection also contains a small amount of born-digital images of Biebigheiser family photographs, donated in 2003.
