The Patrick Lee Lucas Papers contain materials from the files of Patrick Lee Lucas who was a faculty member in the UNCG Department of Interior Architecture from 2002 to 2013. The collection contains materials describing mid-twentieth century architecture, particularly the work of architect Edward Loewenstein of Greensboro. Included are descriptions and photos of Loewenstein-designed houses as well as notes, designs, and brochures for several exhibits and symposia focused on Loewenstein's work. Also included are Loewenstein's personal files kept during his time in Greensboro (1945-1970). These provide information about public buildings designed by Loewenstein and include an extensive set of files describing the design and construction of his family's house in 1953-1954. Architectural plans for the Loewenstein residence and 12 other Loewenstein-designed houses are included.

Series 1 contains files regarding the academic work of Lucas which was focused primarily on the architecture of Loewenstein but also included mid-twentieth century modern architecture throughout the Southeast. In addition to descriptions and photos of Loewenstein-designed houses built for individuals, there are files on Commencement Homes, which were part of a Woman's College class taught by Loewenstein for students in art and home economics in the 1950s-1960s, and on the demolition of one of those homes in 2009. Lucas organized several exhibitions and symposia on Loewenstein's work, and the collection contains materials describing the plans for these events. Also included are materials on the UNCG campus, descriptions and photographs of Greensboro architecture, and information on interior designers Sarah Hunter Kelly and Gregory Ivy.
