Description:
- This group of correspondence was compiled by George Jacobsen who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for his property in Hudson, Québec. The group includes letters, telegrams and numbers 13, 14, and an unnumbered edition of "A Taliesin Square-Paper", published by Taliesin Press. The correspondence discusses both the designs for the house and the trip Jacobsen made to Taliesin West, Arizona. Although the house was never constructed, Wright sent two different designs. The first was based on his design for the 1942 Vigo Sundt House, and the second, a hexagonal module, was similar to the 1941 Roy Peterson House (Shubert and Whatley).

Description:
- Drawings AR1996:1001:256, AR1996:1001:259 and AR1996:1001:295 - AR1996:1001:297 are for a balustrade and stairs for a chapel on rue St.-Sulpice, Montréal. All five drawings have been identified as part of Notre-Dame de Montréal, given that rue St.-Sulpice runs along the east side of the church. Further documentation of these drawings should include determining if the balustrade and stairs were constructed, whether they are extant, and if they are an integral part of the church.
