The supplementary Cottage Architecture volumes that are bound in with this set have designs for dairy farms, cottages, and an inn (!) .

A elevation sketch of the original house is in the FDR Presidential Library. The note refers to the forty room Italianate mansion "Algonac" designed by A J Downing for Warren and Catherine Delano that was erected in Newburgh, NY. It burned in 1916.
