BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

William Seale was a writer and historian who specialized in historic building interiors and restorations.  Earlier in his career, he held several teaching positions and worked in several museums.  He was a curator of American culture at the Smithsonian in the early 1970s, and later joined the National Park Service as White House historian.  He explored the possibility of doing a movie about the White House; when that did not come to fruition, he wrote a book about the White House instead.  He dedicate his career to research and writing about historic house interiors, and planning building restorations.  In addition to historic homes, he worked on state capitols and governors’ mansions.

 

Seale was born in Beaumont, Texas, in 1939, the son of Eugenia Allen Broocks and William Seale.  He graduated from Southwestern College (now Southwestern University, in Georgetown, Texas) and received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Duke University (Ph.D. earned in 1965).  He married Lucinda Lewis Smith, the daughter of Marion Cook Foreman and Howard W. Smith, Jr.  They lived in Alexandria, Virginia, for most of their married life, but later moved back to Texas.   In 2008, William Seale received the Alexandria [Va.] Historical Society History Award for research on the Alexandria Library Company.   He wrote a number of books about historic house interiors, the White House, the Garden Club of America, and related topics.  He also gave many, many talks on these and other topics.  William Seale died on November 21, 2019.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

Records documenting the historic interiors research conducted by William Seale for a number of different institutions, including state capitols, governors’ mansions, and historic homes.  These records include correspondence, research notes, reports, floor plans, some fabric and carpet samples, and photographs.  Among his projects were the historic houses Adena, Darnall’s Chance, Rosedown Plantation (Louisiana), Stratford Hall (Virginia), Travellers Rest (Nashville), and the George Eastman House; the capitols of Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio; the Appomattox Court House National Historic Park; and the governor’s mansions in Texas, Louisiana and Kentucky, plus the old Governor’s Mansion in Milledgeville, Georgia.  Mr. Seale was a popular speaker at antique forums, historical societies, preservation conferences, and other venues, and the collection contains texts of a number of his talks.  Also found are drafts of some of his books; correspondence with publishers; some research notes for books; and advertisements and reviews of his books.
