James E. Moore residence, project
Purcell and Elmslie
Minneapolis, Minnesota 1914
Presentation drawing, second floor plan (low resolution)
Ink on paper, mounted on masonite panel
This drawing of the proposed second floor plan was mounted on a large masonite panel by John Jager in preparation for the Purcell and Elmslie exhibition at the Walker Art Center in 1953. The selection of this unbuilt house for exhibit at the first scholarly recognition of the firm's work is interesting. Purcell talks about the client but not the design in his Parabiographies entry.
Collection: Possibly this is now housed at the Northwest Architectural Archives, but I don't know. Was located in the traveling exhibit plywood storage cases held by David Gebhard in 1981.
