Exterior perspective for the street facade for Emil Bach House, Chicago, Illinois

1915

- This perspective drawing, with the plans for the first (DR1980:0060:002) and second (DR1980:0060:003) floors, form a set of early presentation drawings. According to David De Long, the scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file). The house is presented as if seen from behind a window across the street. De Long also notes that this drawing does not show the low wall and the garden court indicated in the plans shown in Hitchcock; that the CCA drawing portrays a less cubic house than the photograph of the building in Hitchcock due to the former's higher point of view; and that the front windows in the drawing extend down to a sill slightly higher than that which supports the plants whereas they stop short of halfway down to the "plant" sill in the finished house.
