Marr and Holman Architectural Firm Records,
1910-1965
COLLECTION SUMMARY
Creator:
Holman, Joseph W., 1891-1952
Marr and Holman (Firm)
Marr, Thomas Scott, 1866-1936
Inclusive Dates:
1910-1965, bulk 1911-1936
Scope & Content:
Consists of approximately 36.6 cubic feet of documents, photographs, and
blueprints related to the various building projects carried out by the Nashville
architectural firm of Marr and Holman. The collection contains five series, with
Series II representing the bulk of the material (see the "Organization/Arrangement
of Materials" section for more information about the individual series).
Among the documents are bills, reports, contracts, accounts, bids, estimate,
project specifications, estimates, booklets, sketches, blueprints, newspaper
clippings, building material samples, and incoming and outgoing correspondence.
While the majority of the outgoing correspondence originated with Joseph W.
Holman between 1911 and 1929, the greatest concentration of correspondence is
between the firm and the contractors and companies responsible for construction.
This correspondence dates from 1920 through 1924, but 1922 was the peak year.
Documents related to specific building projects exist in more than one series. For
example, material related to the construction of a science building at Middle
Tennessee State Teachers College [Middle Tennessee State University] is
available in Series IV and Series V. Other notable building projects represented in
the collection are various buildings for Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial
College [Tennessee State University], the Harry Nichol Building in Nashville, the
Nashville branch of the Federal Reserve, various buildings for the Tennessee
2
Home and Training School for Feeble Minded Persons [Clover Bottom],
buildings for the Tennessee School for the Deaf, various movie theaters for the
Crescent Amusement Company (which Marr and Holman owned stock in),
grocery stores and a warehouse for H. G. Hill Company, apartment buildings on
West End in Nashville (which Marr and Holman were mortgagers of), buildings
for the Union Ice Cream Company, and the United States Post Office in
Nashville.
In December 2019, archives staff discovered additional blueprints lying on top of
several map cabinets and buried under a stack of various other oversized
materials. The vast majority of these blueprints were of the U.S. Post Office in
Nashville, but there were also blueprints for other projects (an addition to the
Tennessee State Penitentiary, a women’s building at the prison, Cheatham County
Jail, East Nashville High School, etc.). Blueprints joined existing folders in the
map drawers where appropriate. However, many of the blueprints of the post
office were oversized, varying in width from approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet and
varying in length from approximately 4 to 11 feet.

Administrative/Biographical History
"God closed my ears to the petty noises of the world
that I might better envision beautiful buildings."
Thomas S. Marr
Thomas Scott Marr Jr. was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 20, 1866, to
Thomas Scott Marr Sr. (1830-1897), a prominent Nashville banker and broker,
and Delia Tarbox Marr (1835-1907). At age three, a bout of scarlet fever caused
him to go deaf. He attended public schools before going to the Tennessee School
3
for the Deaf in Knoxville in 1877. After graduating in 1884, he matriculated at
Gallaudet College (now Gallaudet University), the world's only college for the
deaf, in Washington, D.C. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in
1889.
Marr had become interested in the construction of buildings in Nashville at an
early age, so after his graduation he returned to Nashville and began work as a
draftsman in the office of Nashville architect George W. Thompson. Because
Marr only earned $2.50 per week as a draftsman, he realized that he needed more
architectural training. He therefore attended Boston's Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1891 to pursue special course work in architecture. He returned to
Nashville the next year and began work at the architectural firm of Thompson and
Gibel as a practicing architect, for which he was paid $12 per week.
In 1897, with capital of $500, he opened his own architectural business in the old
Chamber of Commerce building (also known as the Exchange Building) on 4th
Avenue North. He focused on designing residential buildings. At first, business
was limited, but it grew as Marr's reputation spread. Articles frequently appeared
in Nashville newspapers about the homes he was building in and around the city.
He also occasionally wrote articles about architecture and design for the Nashville
American newspaper.
During the summer of 1904, Marr hired Joseph W. Holman, then thirteen years
old, as an office boy for $3.50 per week ;his responsibilities included running
errands and cleaning the office. He later became Marr's most valuable assistant
and in 1910 they formed a partnership, known as Marr and Holman, Architects.
Holman was responsible for securing new business and dealing with clients, while
Marr supervised the drafting of the architectural designs.
With the addition of Holman and because of the increasing success of the
business, the main focus of the firm shifted from residential to industrial and
commercial design (although they continued to do residential design). Their
architectural designs included the use of reinforced concrete, structural steel, and
prefabricated materials. At the height of their business, from the 1920s through
the mid-1930s, Marr and Holman designed numerous buildings, including public
schools, hotels, courthouses, hospitals, apartment complexes, college buildings,
baseball stadiums, theatres, warehouses, garages, and business offices. Two of
their major accomplishments were the United States Post Office (completed in
1934) and the Tennessee Supreme Court Building (completed in 1937) in
Nashville. Marr also personally designed several buildings for his alma mater, the
Tennessee School for the Deaf.
As business grew during the 1920s, the firm hired additional draftsmen,
engineers, and stenographers. One of the engineers, James L. Howard, joined the
firm in 1928 as a structural engineer. His first assignment was as residential
engineer on the construction of the Russell Erskine Hotel in Huntsville, Alabama.
4
Marr hired another engineer, Richard S. Reynolds, in 1923. Reynolds was a civil
engineer and a graduate of Vanderbilt University. Much of the firm's success
depended on his ability to master all phases of engineering as it related to the
firm.
Marr died suddenly from a stroke on March 2, 1936. After Marr's death, Holman
continued to control the firm until his death in 1952. The firm was then
reorganized and Reynolds ran it until his retirement in 1970.
Organization/Arrangement of Materials
The collection is divided into five series. Series I contains office files and general
correspondence from 1911 through 1923. Series II holds documents related to
many of the firm's various building projects from 1920 to 1927. Series III
contains contracts and specifications for various building projects from 1920 to
1927. Series IV houses over 500 photographs of various building projects from
1921 through 1929. While there are blueprints scattered throughout Series I-III,
most of the blueprints in the collection may be found in Series V, which contains
over 700 blueprints of various building projects from approximately 1910 to
1965.
Series I-IV were processed in 1985 and were not reprocessed with the addition of
Series V in 2016. However, some of the container list descriptions in Series I-IV
were changed in order for the entries to be more accurate and consistent. But
while some container list entries may have changed, the folders themselves were
not reordered. Thus, the container list entries for Series I-IV do not appear in
entirely alphabetical order any more. For example, one item was alphabetized
under "P" for "Publishing House, Methodist" in Series III but was alphabetized
"M" for "Methodist Publishing House" in Series IV. Both entries are now listed as
"Methodist Publishing House." Similarly, Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial
College (now Tennessee State University) was listed three different ways: "A &
I," "Agricultural, Industrial & Normal School for Colored," and "A & I Normal
School." All of the entries were changed to "Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial
College." Other references to "colored" among the names of the various building
projects were left as is because that is what was used in the original documents.
Likewise, "theatre" is used instead of "theater" because that was how it was
spelled in all of the documents.
