| Notes | This collection of architectural designs, drawings, motifs and plans (reproduced in various journals) was possibly a source book for Lethaby, being categorised into such areas as 'Churches', 'Schools' and other more specific areas of architectural interest. (These five sketches may or may not be related.) | |
| Object Notes | This drawing seems to be a design for some kind of air conditioning unit or purifier. Shows 1) front elevation 2) side elevation and 3) a plan from above. This is most likely a design for a commercial building or offices of some kind. As with F.145.1, there is avague possibility that this may have been a sketch for the Eagle Insurance Building in Birmingham. | |
