Here's a description of the image:

The image is a historical architectural plan or document, likely from the early 20th century. It's a grayscale print featuring two main illustrations and text.

Main Elements:

• Title: "Governmental Agencies of House Construction" and "U.S. Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation" at the top, providing context.
• Left Side:
  • A detailed drawing of a "FOUR-FAMILY HOUSE." It includes a perspective drawing of the exterior of the house, showing its architectural style (likely a variation of the Colonial Revival or similar).
  • Below the perspective, there are floor plans labeled "First Floor Plan" and "Second Floor Plan" showing the layout and dimensions of each floor, detailing room arrangements.
  • Underneath the drawings it reads "THE EMERGENCY FLEET CORPORATION U-S-S-B HOUSING AT WILMINGTON DELAWARE"
• Right Side:
  • A "BLOCK PLAN" of a housing development, likely for the same Emergency Fleet Corporation project.
  • The plan illustrates the layout of streets and buildings, indicating how the "four-family" houses and other structures are organized within the neighborhood.
  • Underneath the drawings it reads "THE EMERGENCY FLEET CORPORATION U-S-S-B HOUSING AT WILMINGTON DELAWARE"

Overall Impression:

This is an architectural plan that shows the detailed plans for a four-family house along with an overview of where it and other similar houses would be located. It likely depicts a housing project built during a period of increased government involvement in housing construction, potentially during World War I or shortly thereafter. The design and layout reflect typical housing design principles of the time.

The image is a print of architectural drawings for a "Four-Family House" and its related block plan, designed for the Emergency Fleet Corporation's housing project in Wilmington, Delaware. The header of the image states "Governmental Agencies of House Construction" and "U.S. Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation," indicating the project's governmental origin.

The drawing on the left depicts the four-family house in a perspective view along with its floor plans. The house is two-storied with multiple windows and a front porch. Below the image, there are the "First Floor Plan" and "Second Floor Plan." At the bottom, it is mentioned that the design is for "The Emergency Fleet Corporation U-S-S-B Housing at Wilmington Delaware," with "Ballinger and Perrot Architects Philadelphia PA" listed as the architects.

The drawing on the right shows the "Block Plan," which is an aerial view of the layout of multiple buildings, roads, and possibly some landscaping. It also carries the title "The Emergency Fleet Corporation U-S-S-B Housing at Wilmington Delaware" and the same architects information as the house plan.

Both drawings are framed with a thin black border and are set against a gray background, which appears to be part of the print itself. The artwork is rendered in black ink on a white or off-white paper.
