Drawings
Illustrated here is a sampling of the detailed drawings—architectural and otherwise—that laid the foundation for construction and interior design of the Higgins House. Each of these building block sketches is preserved among WPI's Higgins Family Papers and Facilities Collection, likely drawn by Aldus himself.
