Abstract:
Photographs, photograph albums, collotype prints, and a diploma collected by Sydney Wood relating to the Hillside Home School (Iowa County, Wisconsin) and the Lloyd Jones family. Included in the collection are three photograph albums documenting the Hillside Home School, circa 1892-circa 1920, a combination home, school, and farm founded by Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones in 1887 near Spring Green, Wisconsin; a composite of the school's graduating class of 1886; and a 1905 diploma from the school for Alice Lloyd Jones. The collection also includes an incomplete set of collotype prints and an original portfolio envelope used to promote the school and believed to have been designed, photographed, and lettered by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the nephew of Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones. Additional images include a drawing and a photograph of the Hillside Home School, the building designed by Wright in 1902. Images in the photograph albums include interior and exterior views of Hillside Home School buildings, students, teachers, and the surrounding landscape as well as images of members of the Lloyd Jones family. In addition to images of the school, the untitled album also includes additional collotype prints and photographs related to the Tower Hill Assembly and the Lloyd Jones family including the family patriarch Jenkin Lloyd Jones.
