Took it in highschool and had a blast. I think back in 1963 they just called the class "mechanical drawing" and I remember having to draw all sorts of weirdly shaped blocks -- not as easy as it looks as I'm sure you know. Really like how the old buildings have those high 9' ceilings. But I guess the weak spot in this drawing is the unreinforced garage area -- as we found out in the Loma Prieta earthquake.
