label: Description
content: Vertical sheet with two sketches of buildings. At left is a half-timbered building with a shingled or tiled steeply pitched roof that has a very deep overhang. The building is raised up on tall timber supports that create a framed archway beneath the first story, which has a white façade and two windows with green shutters. The sketch at right is possibly the same building seen at lower right in 1943-51-127. It is a long building also with a steeply pitched shingled or tiled roof that is canted at the end. A clock face is visible in a triangular roof dormer. Above this is a bell-shaped cupola surmounting a very thin structure. The cupola has a tall finial with ball and weathervane ornament.
