House, John Oesterling, 16th Street, Wheeling, W Virginia, 1884, Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the House for John Oesterling, Esq., Wheeling, West Virginia.  HAND-COLORED.  Fred J Oesterling, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, March 29, 1884.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been.  It measures 7 by 6 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 11 by 10 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with very light browning and some minor crinkling.
