Title:

Sketch perspectives and sketch plan for Mountain House

Date:

1934

Description:

- The perspective sketches correspond with the rough plan, which shows the two wings of the court house and part of the stone wall enclosing the courtyard. The perspective drawing on the lower half of the sheet appears to have been drawn after the plan, which may reflect the architect's approach to the problem: drawing the plan and then working out the relationship between the structure to the site.
