Notes:

Title from drawing MAM*021*001 [sic, MMH181* ]. Several titles site the location "Bryn Mawr, Pa.", but not the College.

Mellor, Meigs & Howe, project no. 181, drawing nos. 1-11, 113(2), 133, 139, 140a, 143, and unnumbered images. Includes an unnumbered bird's eye axonometric perspective cutaway, credited to Mellor and Meigs, which may have been created for a publication. Most other drawings have a title block, and include plans, elevations, and sections, often relating structural detail.

This drawings was previously cataloged in Laverty as three separate projects, but most are all probably from the original construction project for Goodhart Hall at Bryn Mawr College. This project was begun during the corporate period of Mellor, Meigs & Howe. The design, however, is credited mainly to Arthur Meigs. Howe left the firm in the Spring of 1928, and the later drawings for the Lecturn (139, 140a & 143), which are dated in Apr. & May of 1928, show the transition of the firm, with Howe's name no longer included or crossed out in the title block.
