The top drawing is an elevation viewed from the north, with the behemoth ballroom addition on the left. The bottom drawing is the same complex viewed from the south, bsllroom on the right

A near-universal cultural feature from single-family homes to hotels in the early third of the century. I’ve seen hundreds of 500 sf apts from the 1920s that had separate doors from the hall into the kitchens

The building- and detail-scale patterns just made such good sense, so a natural gateway to start thinking about and understanding the large scale neighborhood and city patterns that I hadn’t considered as deeply as an architecture student
