A pencil elevation drawing shows a house straight on, with no perspective, so every window, door and course of stone sits at its true proportion. This one centers on a stone house with a prominent chimney, a combination that tells a viewer a good deal about how such homes were built: the chimney was usually the main source of heat and the anchor of the structure, while the walls, often laid up from local rock, were chosen for durability. Drawings like this were typically made by builders, surveyors or architects to plan construction or record an existing building, so the line work doubles as a working document. Look closely at the stonework and the placement of openings for clues about the builder's priorities.
