The image is a black and white architectural plan, likely from the early 20th century, of the East River Homes apartment buildings in New York City. The plan shows the layout of the first-floor apartments.

The plan is divided into sections, indicating the arrangement of the buildings. The apartments are arranged around interior courtyards. Each individual unit is labeled with abbreviations, likely indicating the use of each room, such as "LR" for living room, "BR" for bedroom, and so on. There are staircases marked as well.

The plan includes some text at the bottom that describes the project, including who founded it, and some of the buildings' architectural features. The text highlights the fireproof construction and the placement of apartments around the courtyards.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows an architectural floor plan titled "East River Homes: Buildings on East Seventy-Eighth Street." The plan details the "First Floor Plan" of four buildings arranged to create a courtyard and yard area. Each building is identified as "House No." with numbers 1 through 4. The buildings appear to be apartment complexes, each containing multiple units with identifiable rooms labeled as "LR" (living room) and "BR" (bedroom). The floor plans also indicate staircases labeled as "Staircase No." and "Administration Office" in House No. 1.

The arrangement of the buildings includes "Courts" between them and a "Yard" area connecting to "John Jay Park." On the opposite side, "Public School" is labeled. Below the floor plan, there are paragraphs of text describing the purpose and features of the apartment buildings, stating that they were founded by Mrs. F.F. Vanderbilt Sr. to offer hygienic living conditions. The text also emphasizes the fireproof construction, exterior staircases, and private entrances to each apartment. The image overall conveys a detailed view of a proposed or existing housing development plan.
