Details
DescriptionThe plan was assembled from two different sets of A4 photocopies of this master drawing.
It was accompanied by a 12-page typed specification. The library has two copies of this; the original document was heavily annotated in ink.
The walls were all cast in reinforced concrete; 6 inches (15 cm) exterior and 4 inches (10 cm) interior. Jarrah in the original wording was replaced by 'building heart rimu'.
The windows were standard Crittall types, reportedly aluminium and imported; the system has two prefixes, C & D, three numbers, 2, 4 and 6 (number of panes?); some are suffixed with an F.
Plumbing in the house was copper.
An additional page sketched a hand-basin outlet and noted 'No hot water to Maid's Rm Basin or Lavatory'.
Toilets went to a septic tank and then to a sump; other waste went straight to the sump.
