Julie A. Nicoletta was a mother, author and professor. For more than two decades at the University of Washington Tacoma, Julie taught thousands of students in American history, art and architectural history, and material culture studies. She found joy in encouraging her students to pay attention to the ordinary world around them to understand the past lives of everyday people.
With her entire academic career at UW (1996-2023), Julie rose through the ranks becoming a full professor in 2007 and chairing the Faculty Council for University Libraries (2020-2021). Julie produced numerous articles on women’s art, Shaker architecture, and the architecture of the New York World’s Fair of 1964-1965, among other topics. She published two books, “The Architecture of the Shakers” (W.W. Norton/Countryman Press, 1995), and “Buildings of Nevada” (Oxford University Press, 2000).
While valuing family, friends and colleagues, Julie also enjoyed walking, hiking, traveling, and cooking. She could spend hours walking cities and neighborhoods around the world looking at architecture. In recognition of her love of research, teaching and architecture, Julie’s family, friends and colleagues created the Julie Nicoletta endowment benefiting the architecture collections at the University of Washington Libraries.
