Call NumberZ-15053CreatorAxtens, S. Arthur, 1895-1976.Date1936 January 4SummaryPerspective (color), first, second and partial basement plans for a Streamline Moderne style house, ca. 1936. The front facade is dominated by three large curved horizontal metal casement windows with decorative horizontal banding at the flat roof line and around the window openings. The structure is oriented toward the southwest with a separate sun room over the front entrance hall. If built, the three bedroom (plus maid's quarters), four bath residence (two full, two partial) would probably have been constructed of colored brick. The design was included with similar ones in a pattern book compiled by Axtens in the 1930s.Physical Description1 item : (colored pencil, pencil and ink on artist board) ; 38 x 51 cm (15 x 20 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectHouses--Colorado--Denver--Designs and plansGeographic AreaDenver (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage file: ZZR711015053Type of MaterialArchitectural elementsArchitectural decorations & ornamentsFloor plansPerspective projectionsOriginal Material Found in CollectionWH1847.
