- Notes:
- No commission number. This set appears to show two alternative designs for an orientation to the rear. The Frank Schlesinger feasibility study shows new construction for a nave, gallery, choir area, with an entrance atrium (the former nave) and chapel opposing the nave (former chancel). Thompson's plan appears to call for a simple narthex entrance to the existing nave opposite the chancel.
