This architectural drawing by Fritz Frederick L. Foltz (1843-1915) depicts the elevations and details of the dining room in the David Lewinsohn House, Chicago, Illinois. The detailed pen-and-ink drawing reveals the intricate design of the room's built-in elements, including the fireplace, windows, doors, and cabinetry. Created in 1898, it is a valuable document of the craftsmanship and design of the late 19th century, and is a testament to Foltz's talent as a draftsman. The Art Institute of Chicago holds the drawing, which is 46.5 × 91 cm (18 5/16 × 35 13/16 in.) in size.
