TALENTS OF AN ARCHITECT - William H. Vanderbilt 640 Fifth Ave. New York, NY First Floor Plan

 

William H. Vanderbilt 640 Fifth Ave. New York, NY First Floor Plan

As an Armchair Architect  I admire people who can walk into a room and sketch a floor plan.  Here we have an Architect who can take texts from an earlier post I did on the William H. Vanderbilt property "Beetlehead's" 640 Fifth Avenue and create the first floor plans. 

As far as I know original plans have never been seen.
