Chester E. Nagel (1911-) studied architecture at The University of Texas, graduating in 1934, and later studied with Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, receiving his Master's degree in 1940 and later returning as an assistant professor. Early in his career he worked for the National Park Service; later he was involved with The Architect's Collaborative and eventually set up his own practice in 1958. The Chester E. Nagel collection includes exhibition panels, photographic prints, architectural renderings, correspondence, and transcripts that reveal the working life of this native Texan who became a proponent of the International Style.
