The file consists of a perspective view of the east side of the house (AP1380), contract drawings for the house (AP1381-AP1389, AP1391-AP1393), drawings of a gas house, detail of the veranda and wiring diagrams. Notations and changes are sketched in pencil on the contract drawings. Two-storey house with basement and attic. The basement includes a lavatory, storeroom and laundry area. The ground floor comprises a hall, library, two undesignated rooms, dining room, kitchen, pantry and larder. A veranda fronts the hall, and a terrace extends across the front or east side and carries on around the north side. The second floor consists of the upper hall, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three or four undesignated rooms. Pencil sketches on the contract drawings show a glassed-in room (larger than a cupola) rising from the attic. The wood-frame construction is covered with roughcast, and plans call for liberal use of leaded glass windows. Contract drawings stamped and inscribed: "This is one of the drawings referred to in our contract dated June 15th 1914. [Signed] JE Shenk [and] JH Oldfield." Drawings for earlier additions and alterations were prepared for H.C. Oldfield (see file 138).
