Allen sells archive to Stanford University; purchases NY loft 1994 Allen transfers a trove of life's work, photos, artifacts, manuscripts, etc. - the result of ten years of archiving efforts - to Stanford University in California for $1 million and buys a modest but comfortable loft space in New York's East Village to serve as his home and office.
