This commission had two stages.  Elmslie produced a scheme for a house, but the client could not afford that level of construction.  A subsequent, much simplified design for the small "cabin" shown here was developed the next year.  Documentation for both projects is combined on this page.  Purcell apparently did not write a separate Parabiographies entry for the second commission number.

        A writer, Francis Buzzell published short stories in the years surrounding World War I.
