TABLE 3-
VIEW TYPES, HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE SECTION
(Third Lines of ASL’s Classification Scheme)
This classification shows view type numbers for the 3rd lines of ASL’s architecture history section. See Table 6 for view types for Topography sections.
FIRST LINES:
The first line of the call number in architectural history section comes from Table 1, Periods.
SECOND LINES:
The second line of the call number in the architectural history section consists of the Cutter number for the place, up to the end of the 18th century. For the 19th and 20th Centuries, the second line consists of a Cutter number for the place or architect.
THIRD LINES:
First three letters of the name of the building plus a view type number (see list below).
To determine the proper third line designation for a building name, use the most common form of the building name as found in standardized information sources. For buildings not located in standard reference works (ie buildings too new to appear in reference works or too obscure) use the name as it appears in the cataloging source. For buildings without proper names,
use the following guidelines:
- An architect's own self-designed home is given 3 letters of the architect's surname.
- Buildings known by their address file alphabetically by the address as if it were written: 255 California will file as Two.
- Buildings designated by generic building type and location will file alphabetically by building type, followed by place: Office Building, Corte Madera will file as
Offc. This is similar to building names that follow both corporate name and building type: Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas will file as Musd. Join two firm names with a forward slash (/), unless your source specifies a + or &. e.g., Perkins & Will.
