This is a blue-toned architectural drawing of a two-story house and studio. The front view shows tall windows with labels like "skylight" and "movement room." The side cutaway reveals stairs, a fireplace, and a roof with a chimney. Tiny handwritten notes mark measurements like "6 ft 6 in" and materials like "stone." The drawing was made for someone named F. Miles Esq. on Tite Street in Chelsea. The artist labeled rooms and structural details carefully, showing how light would fill the space. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
