Timothy Scully Killiam (New York City, November\u00a020,\u00a01947 \u2013 Amsterdam, February\u00a06,\u00a02014) was an American architect, draftsman, and photographer.<\/p>\n
From 1974 until his death in\u00a02014, Killiam lived and worked in Amsterdam, where he made drawings, photographs, and etchings, in particular of buildings in Amsterdam\u2019s historic canal district.<\/p>\n
He also published the Amsterdam Canal Guide, <\/em>a paperback guide to the four main canals of Amsterdam\u2019s canal belt.<\/p>\n Killiam studied architecture at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, U.S.A.) and Yale in New Haven (Connecticut, U.S.A.). He then received a scholarship for postgraduate studies in Gothenburg, Sweden.<\/p>\n After graduating, he bought a wooden sailboat in England in\u00a01974. He restored the boat and set sail for Sweden but was forced to called in at Amsterdam en\u00a0route<\/em> by a storm. That was when he got to know his partner, Marieke van der Zeijden and how he became fascinated by the historic architecture of Amsterdam\u2019s city center.<\/p>\n Amsterdam became his new home town and he would live there for the rest of his life. Soon after arriving in Amsterdam, Killiam made it his life\u2019s work to document the facades of the buildings on Amsterdam\u2019s seventeenth-century ring of canals in their current state, resulting in the Amsterdamse Grachtengids (original Dutch edition) and the Amsterdam Canal Guide (English version)<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Timothy Scully Killiam (New York City, November 20, 1947 \u2013 Amsterdam, February 6, 2014) was an American architect, draftsman, and photographer.<\/p>\n From 1974 until his death in 2014, Killiam lived and worked in Amsterdam, where he made drawings, photographs, and etchings, in particular of buildings in Amsterdam\u2019s historic canal district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":159,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/about.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-186","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stichtingtimkilliam.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
