PROJECT UPDATE

I have been working on researching this architect Walter J Keith for the past month I would say.  I have been getting lots of information.  And have found a family tree, date of births and death dates.  I'm hoping to find a living relative.  But not a whole lot of luck with that.  However, I have been able to find a biography of Walter which is pretty interesting.  I've also been working on rewriting his house plans he wrote.  It's been a challenge figuring out what some of the pages say.  The first page of the plans look like they have been burned and water damaged.  I'll be sharing the biography and more updates soon.  So stay tuned!
