William Schleisner 1912-1962
Mr. Schleisner was a noted photographer of architecture and a partner of the Gottscho-Schleisner photography firm. Jacob Deschin, a photography editor of the New York Times, described his work as "…a rare treat in these days of casual shooting." Mr. Schleisner's photographs survive in a number of collections around the country. This example can be found in the Library of Congress collection.

So, go to search page and type in Marckwald (SS America and United States interior designer) and it will take you to the collection. Big U fans will find more pictures of the America than United States, but it's worth the visit.
