Not on view

This drawing shows a wall elevation decorated with green trelliswork. Underneath an arch, an urn is placed on a pedestal in the middle of a raised built-in planter box. A floorplan for this element is added on the bottom of the sheet, below the elevation. The design appears to be meant for an early-twentieth-century Beaux-Arts conservatory or indoor garden room.
