Content Description

Notebook, ca. 1920

The Arthur I. Launder architecture course notebook consists primarily of what appears to be an incomplete set of leaves from either a teaching notebook on residential architecture and design or Launder's own student notes and assignments. In addition to manuscript and typescript text, there are numerous sketches, elevations, and photographs, as well as six folded blueprints.
