Few houses in the Heaton office files carry a client's name as plainly as this one, which was drawn for the Misses McEwen at 3324 Newark Street NW in Cleveland Park. Cleveland Park grew in the early 1900s as a streetcar suburb of leafy lots and detached houses, and many of Washington's middle-class families built homes there. The sheet is rendered in graphite and watercolor, and although it is unsigned, its attribution rests on the address and the commission number, which match the office's own records. Because it survives with the Heaton papers, it offers a useful look at how a local architect presented a domestic design to a client.
