Edward Burling's "Charles R. Larrabee House, Chicago, Illinois, Attic Plan" is a detailed architectural drawing of the attic floor plan of a house in Chicago, Illinois. The drawing, created between 1863-1864, is a pen-and-ink drawing on paper and is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The floor plan features a simple, geometric layout with a single large room in the center and smaller rooms arranged around it. The drawing is a valuable historical document and an example of 19th-century American architectural drafting.
