(Architecture)
Brooklyn New York: 1878. Drawing signed W.H. Gaylor Architect and additionally dated dated 12/(18)78 showing the basement, first & second story interior dimensions and layout of this building; from the back of the sheet there are penciled drawings and notations of the location at High St & Bridge St. (Brooklyn, New York) and a note stating "filed June 1881"showing that this plan was evidently put forward as plans just as W. H. Gaylor became Commissioner of Buildings, appointed by Mayor Seth Low in 1881. Gaylor was an architect and builder by profession; building has a somewhat odd footprint, being slightly angling in on one side; interesting for showing bath tubs and location of kitchen rooms in basement, stairways, nicely hand-colored and shaded, very precisely inked and with all dimensions; approx. 17" x 31" size; some edge, tips wear and soiling, some splitting along old fold lines; in good condition and interesting Brooklyn New York architectural history.
