Two options for descriptive detail may be provided. The title links access the relevant pages on the Library of Congress website. Speculative
numbers assigned by John Geiger related to the drawing inventory system in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives are noted when present;
question marks indicate uncertain position in sequence of production during project development. When present, a PDF link prompts a one sheet description page
prepared for use by John Geiger. The PDFs may be useful to show information no longer available on the LOC website.
The documentation is here arranged into 2 groups.
