The sheet documents alterations to a house at 1775 N Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C., drawn as a blueprint with graphite and colored pencil notes. It is linked to George N. Ray's commission no. 316, a companion set for the same residence, and both belong to the Waggaman & Ray Archive. Many Washington houses were remodeled during the 1890s to suit changing household needs. Working drawings like this one told builders what structure and room arrangement to follow, which makes them useful evidence of how the building was changed.
