DR1989:0015:012
Description:
- This incomplete set of numbered contract drawings, DR1989:0015:012 - DR1989:0015:016, have the same scale, colour-coding, title format and script. With the exception of this drawing, which was probably cut down, the sheets are of similar dimensions and are signed by the architect in the l.r. corner. DR1989:0015:013 - DR1989:0015:016 are keyed to this drawing. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Description:
- This album contains original designs - mostly preliminary drawings - by Charles and possibly Hubert Rohault de Fleury for theatres and miscellaneous projects, record drawings and prints of French, and perhaps Italian, theatres, and prints for a diverse collection of other French subjects. Drawings and prints for theatres include: traced plans, perhaps of Italian theatres; preliminary plans for theatres designed by Charles Rohault de Fleury; a plan of Théâtre de variétés, Paris, signed by the architect, Jacques Cellérier; prints of Théâtre de l'Odéon, Paris, designed by Charles de Wailly and Marie-Joseph Peyre; a print of Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, Paris, designed by Nicolas Lenoir; a proposal for an opera house, Paris, by Hector Horeau with a plan and perspective; and an engraving of the inscription for the first stone of the Grand-Théâtre, Lyon, designed by Antoine-Marie Chenavard and Jean Pollet. The remaining prints in the album date from the 18th and 19th centuries and include: a competition entry by Louis-Pierre Baltard for a monument at Bordeaux dedicated to the triumphs of the Republican army and to peace; a stable for the Czarina commissioned by Peter I and designed by François Bruant; decorations by Victor Louis for the "fêtes de paix" of 1763 and the inauguration of an equestrian statue of Louis XV for the Théâtre italien dedicated to the Marquis de Marigny; a funerary temple by Louis-Jean Desprez dedicated to Voltaire; a stable with two manèges by Jean François de Neufforge; a competition entry for an obelisk for Pont-Neuf, Paris, by Thomas Pierre Baraguay; a plan and two engravings of the Cirque for the Confédération générale, 14 July 1790, on the Champ-de-Mars; an advertising flyer for Louis Ambroise Dubut's book, "Architecture civile: maison de ville et de campagne"; and a prospectus and print of the Néothermes, rue de la Victoire, Paris, designed by Jean Charles Bringol. Three design drawings are for two projects by Charles Rohault de Fleury - an iron arcade for boulevard du Temple, Paris, and a bathroom or public bath (DR1974:0002:010:013, DR1974:0002:010:014 and DR1974:0002:010:044).

- This incomplete set of numbered contract drawings, DR1989:0015:012 - DR1989:0015:016, have the same scale, colour-coding, title format and script. With the exception of the ground plan DR1989:0015:012, which was probably cut down, the sheets are of similar dimensions and are signed by the architect in the l.r. corner. DR1989:0015:012 - DR1989:0015:016 are keyed to the ground plan, DR1989:0015:012. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and a copy of a resolution was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was persuing the commission for the Los Angeles Municipal Airport, Mines Field, California. While Wright received the approval of the Municipal Art Commission, his design was ultimately rejected by the Airport Committee in favour of a Spanish Colonial design. The correspondence is composed of carbon copies and mimeographs of a letter sent to the Municipal Art Commission requesting that the commission consider his design. There are several copies of this letter, probably because it was sent to individual committee members and a copy was made of each letter. Of the newspaper clippings, three relate to the Mines Field project; the most significant is a half-page spread with photographs of both Lloyd Wright's project and the successful Spanish Colonial design. Also on the same page are photographs of four of people involved in the commission, including Lloyd Wright, a councilman, a member of the art commission, and the airport manager. The two other Mines Field clippings announce the completion of an aircraft factory at Mines Field and the completion of the municipal airport within thirty days. The unrelated clipping announces a model airport to be built in Chicago. Also included with these documents are a copy of the resolution made by the Municipal Art Commission recommending Wright's design to the Airport Committee and an envelope addressed to Clifford Henderson, Director of Municipal Airports, City of Los Angeles.
