Description

Construction drawing for the boardroom in the New School for Social Research's building at 66 West 12th Street. The drawing includes elevations of all four walls and a cross section of the molding, including the exact placement of silver aluminum-leaf moldings that were to become an integral structural element within the ten-panel mural, America Today, created for the room by Thomas Hart Benton. The room, later adapted for use as a classroom, was often referred to as the Thomas Hart Benton Room.
