The drawinga include, front, rear, transverse selection, and side elevations, and floor plans for basement, first, second, and attic levels. The basement has a coal room, laundry room, and toilet. Other sections are either empty rooms or unexecavated. Included on the first floor are a sun room, library, living room, hall, dining room, alcove, kitchen, butler's pantry, bathroom, and garage. Most of these rooms have Red Gum Oak flooring. The second level has five chambers (bedrooms), three bathrooms, six closets, and two wardrobes.

NotesSignature Note: 1976.18.307.8-10: The architects left many sections of their stamp blank or changed the information that was in them in these drawings. (Golomb 2/1/11)Subject Note: It is not known if the house was ever built. A similar home with modern siding is currently at the same address, but the plans call for the house to be constructed of stone. (Golomb 5/24/11)
