Description

Exterior elevation of the front facade of the Casa Grande, with Hearst's comments: "I think there should be ten feet more width between the towers for the central gabled building. I think this will help rather than hurt the front elevation and it will be much better inside for the big assembly room giving that 85 ft length, and clearing the tapestries from above the doors into the refectory." Possibly created in May 1922, see correspondence from Morgan dated May 16 1922 and from Hearst dated 22 May 1922.
