[Text from paragraph follows entry for Citizen's National Bank (Commission List 108) in original manuscripts]:

Sunroom, with sleeping porch above, for Garvin's home in Winona. For all these thirty years Mr. and Mrs. Garvin have been dissatisfied with their living room and they still are; have always talked about doing something to correct it. This was their first move. While our design made pleasing rooms inside, the yard was narrow and the new room would have come out very close to the sidewalk. They thought it would spoil the look of their house. In 1928 they were still trying to figure some way to make their living room into the kind of a room they wanted to live in, but without success. Meantime, they had revised, redecorated, and refurnished their house from top to bottom many times, and with a large expenditure of money, and no doubt had a lot of good fun in doing so.
