House of Mercy at Inwood on Hudson, New York, 1890, Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the House of Mercy at Inwood on Hudson, New York.  HAND-COLORED.   H. M. Congdon, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, March 22, 1890.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been.  It measures approximately 16 by 12 inches.  It has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 20 by 16 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.
