Architectural Drawings and Prints

An assembled collection of hand-drawn, painted, engraved, and lithographed illustrations of architectural structures, including public and commercial buildings, private homes, churches, schools, factories, farms, and prisons. Scale drawings, building facades, room layouts, elevations, engineering plans, and buildings in landscape settings are all present. Almost all are located on the east coast of the United States, primarily in the New York, Boston, and Philadelphia areas. The majority date from the middle of the 19th century.
