Architectural Association of Chicago and New York, but we've determined 
that identical plans were published in <em>Radford's Portfolio of Plans </em>(1909). One thing Radford consistently claims is that their drawings are created by "licensed architects." Radford's myriad publishing efforts resulted in a huge range of plan
 books, but also included books on construction methods and building 
technologies and materials."</div>
