Presentation drawing in two-point perspective for Margaret Schevill House, Tucson, Arizona

before 6 May 1941

- This is a perspective drawing for the Margaret Schevill house which was to be situated in the desert. The drawing itself occupies just over the bottom half of the sheet. It has borders delineated on three sides, with the top one broken by a cactus, and those on each side pierced by vegetation, a common motif in FLW's workshop. Rocks and vegetation spill into the foreground. The title spreads across the bottom of the sheet with the initialled monogram square close off the lower edge of the drawing. Situated thus, the house seems to occupy and command infinite space.
- This view shows the northeast facade (or terrace side). The entrance is from the southwest.
