Architecture Patrons and Clients

Clients and patrons whose primary historical significance in this atlas's holdings is commissioning or occupying a landmark work of architecture, tracked as a distinct cluster of early-to-mid-twentieth-century American patrons of modern architecture. Belongs here: private individuals and museum founders remembered chiefly for the building they commissioned or the architectural patronage they enabled. Does not belong here: architects themselves, tracked as a separate figure type where this atlas holds them, or business figures whose commercial activity happens to have included real estate without architectural patronage being their primary historical significance.
