The Parabiographies manuscripts (circa 1930s-1950s)

Volume for 1911: "Work of the Fifth Year"

Note that entries may contain comments, observations, and anecdotes ranging far beyond the specific elements of an architectural commission.  Then again, the entry might also be little more than a curt dismissal in passing.
