The most distinctive feature of this drawing is its title, which pairs a "one-bedroom court house" with a sketch that moves from an exterior view to an interior perspective. That combination suggests a designer testing how a small building reads from outside and how its rooms would feel from within. Graphite on tracing paper was a common medium for early design work, since the translucent sheet let draftsmen layer and revise ideas quickly. The sheet is part of the Howard Dearstyne papers, held in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
