1886.002

Description

Drawing has been torn into four quadrants. The building is not identified, but may have been a proposal for a building at Newark or Belmont Abbey. It appears to be an addition off of another building. The bell steeple on the roof may indicate the building included a chapel, which might mean that it was intended to be a monastery residence with chapel, but it could also be a general purpose building for a school.
