Scope and Contents
This collections contains the architectural drawings of Mount Vernon including the measured drawings of the Mansion, outbuildings, and other MVLA structures. The bulk of material dates from the 1930s (during the tenure of the Director of Research and Restoration, Morley Jeffers Williams) through the 1990s. The drawings were accumulated by, and transferred to, the library/archives over time and are now compiled into this collection based on format and purpose.
Arrangement
The drawings are described in this finding aid according to the location it represents on the estate: the Mansion, Gardens and Grounds, Outbuildings, and other structures. However, the drawings are physically interfiled and interspersed throughout the drawers, and does not follow its intellectual description. All drawings can be found by using the finding aid or keyword search, but physical browsing may be difficult.
Related Material
There may be some overlap with the Maps of Mount Vernon and the surrounding area collection. Other blueprints and architectural drawings may be found in the Papers of the MVLA, the Papers of the Superintendent and Resident Director, and the Restoration Files for the Historic Structures Report.
