Architectural Records, 1909-1910, 1958 and undated
- Scope and content:
-
About 75 items
Includes blueprints, lithographs, pencil, ink, and crayon drawings, and Vandyke prints detailing the design and renovations to J.B. Duke's mansion located on 1 E. 78th Street in New York City. A majority of the drawings date from July 1909 and include drafts and revisions to floor plans, elevations, interior rooms and notes on materials (e.g., Indiana limestone, granite). Several of the blueprints are signed by J.B. Duke including the final plan, dated June 3, 1910, which was executed. The undated materials in folder C1D8F6 are of particular interest as these are the proposed plans of the house that differ quite significantly from what was built.
