The curious six-and-a-half figure arrangement of perforated blocks that exists on the finished building appears nowhere in the drawing set that's available at Artstor.

These perforations light three spaces within, a utility room, the workspace, and a bath. On most drawings there is a row of three simple horizontal rectangular windows, one for each room and equally spaced. On the largest and most complete plan and elevation drawings, these are present but appear to have been superseded by an unspecified arrangement of perforated blocks, denoted within a dashed rectangle spanning the three spaces but not otherwise detailed. Thus, it was the owner and/or the builder, it would seem, who came up with this most unlikely and lopsided deployment of perforations. Mr Wright could not have been pleased . . .
