Accepted Design, Bexar County Courthouse, San Antonio, TX, 1894. Original Plan. James Riely Gordon

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of an Accepted Competitive Design for the Bexar County Courthouse in San Antonio, Texas.  HAND-COLORED.  James Riely Gordon, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, October 20, 1894.

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 17 by 13 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 20 by 16 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
