Title from photo no. 994, which is not listed in the Ballinger log books. This is an architectural drawing, a bird's-eye perspective of the proposed building, similar or identification to photo no. 1099.

Ballinger log book 1, p. 94-95 list photo numbers 1043-1050, 1072-1076, 1086-1087, 1099, 1118-1123, 1128-1133, 1149-1151, 1156, 1162, 1166-1168, 1182-1184, 1186, 1188, 1191-1192, 1198-1199, 1219-1223, 1225, 1240-1242. Photo no. 1156 has been misidentified, and is not part of this building project. Photo no. 1099 is an architectural drawing, a perspective bird's-eye view of the proposed complex. Shown is the 5-story office building on Post Rd., with an access to the complex at the corner of this building. Also shown is a saw-tooth roof factory building, a watertank, and stack and several ancillary buildings. The Log book describes structures by number, including Nos. 1-16 in the various descriptions. The often referred to building No. 12 appears to be the 5-story building which sits on Post Rd. Reference is also made to the Reservoir & dam.

Ballinger log book 1, p. 120-121 list photo nos. 1250, 1285, 1422-1425, 1544-1546, 1561, 1562A, 1575, 1589-1593, 1636, 1657. Photos in series no. 14xx & no. 1657 are absent from this collection. The log book heading for these pages is "Courtauld (American Viscose Co.)" suggesting the change in company sometime during this construction period.

Later photos of this & other sites are cataloged separately under later company names "American Viscose Co." or "Viscose Co."
