What a great resource - thanks for sharing this with us.
Doug,
Thanks for the inspiring links! The LOC and HABS files really do have some great finds... one of my favorites is "Scotty's first Castle", which is a weathered cabin used by Death Valley Scotty down in Death Valley. HABS has a set of drawings plus lots of color and black and white photos: http://tinyurl.com/p3tl2m4
