buildings, Masonic temples and other
buildings OF similar appointments.

fact that straight facade drawings, to
persons not having drawings OF this
nature before them continually. usu-

detail is shown TO ornament the sur
face of the building. This feature

from facade plans. as the completed
building is slightly less ornamental
in its appearance than can be shown
by n picture when all its decoration
