Jerome Robert Cerny Drawings of Truman and Annie Williams Residence, Raleigh, North Carolina 1935-1938

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00150/

The Jerome Robert Cerny architectural drawings for Truman and Annie Williams (1935-1938) contains twenty-four blueprints documenting the original architecture and landscape of the Williams residence, 910 Harvey Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. The drawings were created by architect Jerome Robert Cerny of Lake Forest, Illinois and Charles F. Gillette, a Raleigh-based landscape architect. Truman and Annie Williams commissioned the construction of this home in 1939. Mrs. Williams saw photographs in a magazine of a residence in Lake Forest, Illinois, created by Jerome Robert Cerny. The Williamses then commissioned Cerny to create a similar residence for them in Raleigh, North Carolina. Charles F. Gillette was the landscape architect on the project and several of his drawings, specifically created for the Williams residence, are included in this collection.
