Porte-cochère, Scott Cottage

Architectural sketch by Francis Augustus Lathrop depicting the entrance to Scott Cottage. This ink drawing shows a residential home with Queen Anne stylistic elements—asymmetrical gables, varied wall textures, and a prominent porte-cochère (covered carriage entrance). A figure stands in the foreground, establishing scale. The sketch exhibits the detailed linework characteristic of late 19th-century architectural rendering, combining technical precision with atmospheric perspective. Lathrop (1849–1909), an American architect and designer, documented domestic architecture during a period of significant residential innovation in American design.
