This project gets bigger nearly every day

So much has happened over the last two months!
1) I added the 51st Ashton & Evans project to this site (Hancock, Isaac A. residence). This allowed us to fix the ongoing problem with the “Awards and Nominations” field. You can now see the National Register nominations and other awards for each of the Ashton & Evans projects.
2) Mike O’Brien visited the Huntsville Monastery blueprints at the Marriott library and told his followers about them at https://theboymonk.com/a-special-set-of-spiritual-blueprints/. This has driven lots of traffic to the Ashton & Evans site. Thanks, Mike!
3) Our friends at Marriott Special Collections found 2 more Ashton & Evans architectural tubes with 6 or so NEW projects (total of 480 tubes now with about 1100 projects). I can’t wait to get home and get my documentation updated. Thanks, Gina!
4) My sister, her grandchild, and friend visited Special Collections and answered some very specific questions about a few blueprints. They also got access to INTERIOR of the Park City War Memorial Veterans Building and saw some of the original design. Thanks, Diane, Damien, and Zeff.
5) Marriott Special Collections and I have been working together to perhaps create a ‘real’ Finding Aide to the (until now) unprocessed Ashton & Evans blueprint collection. I think she has a good plan and the ball is now in my court. Thanks, Gina!
And, much, much more.
