Drawing

Two drawings on paper, mounted on board, showing proposed changes to a building on the southern portion of the Fort Wayne grounds, near the riverfront, from the mid-1960s. The upper drawing depicts the before view of the building as it existed at that time. The image is drawn in blank ink, and it is indicated that it was based off of a 1":40' scale drawing. The bottom drawing is a color drawing depicting the proposed changes to the building to turn it into the Detroit Industrial History Museum. As shown by the drawings, the left and right sides of the building were to be modified, and numerous trees were to be planted along the perimeter of the building. Also shown in the drawing is a ship traversing the Detroit River, heading to the southwest.
