Significance

Margaret Picken's series of architectural drawings are invaluable assets for identifying styles and features of buildings, and houses in particular. The fact that each drawing is dated with the year it was created also proves a valuable record for house historians - since that date a number of the depicted properties have either been altered or demolished.
