Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

The emphases of the series are on the 109 E. Ontario space, since the Arts Club was there for over forty years and the 201 E. Ontario space, which was designed to the Club’s specifications. The series includes brochures, samples, invoices, blueprints, financial information, contracts, meeting minutes and correspondence. Correspondence is with architects, designers, building owners and rental agencies, vendors, Arts Club officers and members, lawyers, and city officials, regarding rental arrangements, designs and redesigns, ventilation, lighting, and plumbing repairs, parking, and other matters relevant to the spaces occupied by the Arts Club. Rental records (i.e. rentals of the Arts Club space by external organizations or for parties and receptions) are not complete. See Financial Records, Invoices and receipts, for other rental record information. Many blueprints are annotated on front and back, with additional sketches, lists, reminders, etc. They are stored flat in a large flat file drawer, 4a.
