A design drawing for a restaurant in Washington, DC gives a rare look at the planning stage behind a building that may never have been built as drawn. Architectural drawings like this one were used to show clients and builders the layout, elevations and detailing before any construction began, so they often record intentions that changed on site. Washington's commercial streets in the early twentieth century saw a steady stream of dining rooms and cafés, many designed with the formal styles of the period, and such plans reveal how architects balanced decorative ambition with the practical needs of a busy public room. The record for this sheet is brief, so its exact date, architect and client are best confirmed through the original catalog entry.
