The image displays an architectural blueprint or drawing of a structure, presented in white lines on a dark background. There are three separate elevations or views of the building portrayed:

  1. The top-left view appears to be the front elevation of a two-story building with multiple windows and what might be a balcony or an extended structure on the upper floor.

  2. Directly below the top-left view is another elevation, presumably the rear side of the same building, showing a similar pattern of windows and structural design.

  3. The top-right view is a different perspective, likely a side elevation, showing a gable roof with windows on the end wall.

There is text at the bottom right of the image, which appears to be a description or title related to the architectural work. However, the text is not legible due to the resolution in the provided image. Since it's a scanned copy of the original blueprint or drawing, we can see the dark border of the scanning bed, and the image has a catalog number or reference code (99.81) at the bottom right corner outside the main frame of the drawing. Additionally, there's a label "2A" in the top-right corner, possibly indicating a series or set to which this drawing belongs.

Architectural drawings like this are typically used for the planning and construction of buildings, providing detailed visual representation for architects, engineers, and builders to follow.

This image shows a black and white photograph of a blueprint or architectural drawing. It depicts three different views of a rectangular building structure, most likely a sectionalized temporary dwelling unit. The views include:

  1. A front elevation view showing the structure's front facade with vertical lines perhaps indicating siding or paneling.
  2. A rear elevation view which also displays siding or paneling details.
  3. A side elevation view presenting a single facade with the same vertical lines, consistent with the other views.

There is a section of text on the bottom right corner of the blueprint that reads:

"SECTIONALIZED CONSTRUCTION FOR TEMPORARY DWELLING UNITS NATIONAL HOUSING AGENCY FEDERAL PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY TYPE D4-T THE TRAEGERD HOUSE SYSTEM STYRON, PENDLEBURY & WALTER CORP. GENERAL PANEL CORPORATION 63 JOHN STREET NEW YORK CITY, JANUARY 4TH 1943"

A handwritten number “99.81” is present in the bottom right corner of the photograph.

The views include what look like front, side, and possibly rear elevations of a simple rectangular building with vertical siding or panels and windows. The drawing appears to be labeled as a "Type TDU-3" and includes some text at the bottom that suggests it may be related to national housing or a general panel corporation, dated around January 1943. This seems to be documentation for standardized temporary housing units, possibly from the World War II era.
