Built from pencil lines and compass arcs, this drawing breaks a plan into geometric parts such as squares, circles and angled walls, all laid out by hand. Its place on the taverns and saloons board suggests it may show a barroom layout or fixture, though the record does not name the building. Hand drafting like this was standard for architects and builders in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when saloons were busy public rooms with long bars and carefully planned floor space. The faint construction lines are worth a close look, since they show how a designer worked out spacing and symmetry without modern software.
