The plans are marked with Munn & Co., an early patent law firm whose owner Orson Desaix Munn became the publisher of Scientific American. The hand-drawn original plans on vellum were found in the home's attic and are displayed in the house. The home was constructed by T.J. Darling of Waycross, Georgia.
