Second floor plan for Emil Bach House, Chicago, Illinois

1915

- This plan, with the perspective (DR1980:0060:001) and the first floor plan (DR1980:0060:002), forms a set of early presentation drawings. The scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file, de Long report). Comparing this drawing with the plan reproduced in Hitchcock, an additional staircase leading to a (here non-existent) terrace has been added behind the stairwell. The closet for the right bedroom has been changed, and the bathroom "nook" has been assigned to the left bedroom in the Hitchcock plan. Doors do not yet appear.
