Commentary:
The first floor plan on this sheet is copied from N-301. Although Jefferson drew the interior partitions in ink and cross-hatched the masonry cross walls, he apparently did not choose to adopt this arrangement. There are pencil sketches on the first floor plan showing revisions to the interior wall and fireplace locations as well as numbers indicating the dimensions of the revised room plans. (JML)
