• Ford Peatross, Curator of Architecture, Design & Engineering, Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division, indicated on 9/11/2000 that several qualities of this drawing are inconsistent with Latrobe's technique; also that Latrobe drawing scholars Charles Brownell and Jeffrey Cohen have both rejected this drawing as a Latrobe.
