Archive Notes

Date(s) Created: 1963, 1985 (bulk), 1990 Date(s): 1963, 1985, 1990 Finding Aids: See Finding Aid to Architectural Drawings, Maps, and Plats. See List of Properties; then locate Cabinet, Drawer, Folder. Level of Description: Item System of Arrangement: The bulk of the drawings consists of a set dated 1985; however, an earlier Plot Plan is dated 1963 and a later Section is dated 1990. Therefore, a "complete set" refers to one with the both the 1963 and 1990 drawings combined with the 1985 drawings. The folders contain mostly sets of photocopies of the drawings; there is also one Mylar set and one blueprint. (See below for each set's contents.) Note that there are inconsistencies in the sheet numbering that is printed on the drawings; therefore, refer to the paging assigned by the archivist below to determine what is missing from incomplete sets.
