House of Edward T. Blair, Esq., Chicago IL, 1915. McKim, Mead & White
A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the House of Edward T. Blair, Esq. in Chicago, Illinois. HAND-COLORED. McKim, Mead & White, Architects. From the American Architect and Building News, January 13, 1915. This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been. It measures 11.75 by 8.5 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 12 inches (with mat border). Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored. Shrink wrapped. Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
