Rendered in ink, this perspective drawing focuses on the front entrance of a house labeled as a Cape Cod, a form named for the sandy Massachusetts peninsula where colonial-era builders developed it. The type is recognizable by its steep gabled roof, symmetrical facade, centered door, and compact one-and-a-half-story plan. It was widely adopted in the 1920s and again after World War II, when builders sought modest, affordable homes. Architects prepared perspective views like this one to show clients how a finished entrance would look from the street. The sheet is held in the Library of Congress's architecture and engineering drawing collection.
