This plan measures approximately 27" wide x 16" tall. This plan came from the collection of Wm. H. Whitney.
This plan is in remarkable condition, especially considering its age. There are no rips or tears. There is very little evidence of foxing or other discoloration due to age. There are no stray marks, except for some pencil-marked notes, presumably made by the surveyors who used this plan in their work. Please consider the photos carefully, as we cannot accept returns on plan.
