This is a design for an office building called the Embassy Building, prepared for a Mr. McGill, and it is one of the few records here that names a client. The Library of Congress holds it as a black-and-white film copy negative alongside a color transparency, which means the drawing was photographed and copied for study. The catalog does not give a firm date or architect, so the commission's details remain unclear. Drawings like this one show how an office building was planned on paper before any construction began.
