Notes:

Six items from this set are photographs of architectural drawings from which the title is taken. These drawings include plans and perspective renderings. The date is taken from Mellor & Meigs account book 1 (A-H), which reads "Mrs. A.J. Antelo (Frances) Devereux. House at Dark Harbor, Maine. 1916. No. 94."

Other photos are mostly exterior views, many probably taken at different times, and of different sizes. One set of fourteen 6 x 8 in. prints, has each view identified, and gives the firm name as Mellor, Meigs & Howe. This set includes two interior views of the living room. One large & one snapshot version show a perspective view of the house from the harbor, with the house reflected in the water.

Some of the images of this set are reproduced in A Monograph of the work of Mellor, Meigs & Howe (1923), p.121-124, which includes additional drawings & dates the work as 1917.
