NotesSubject Note: Eight drawings were not scanned, these drawings show draft floor plans with differences in room layout, size, and staircase configurations. Whilst drawings for Job #81 (1999.100.332.1-.7), Job #82 (1999.100.331.1-.2), and Job #83 (1999.100.313.1-.14) suggest individual houses, they share a common style with subtle differences in the roof plans, and near identical floor plans. If built, these house likely reside in the same neighborhood.
