Execllent find DC! That rendering is great.

Who is the artist, I can't make out the signature?

Can we see the rest of the type text on the back of the photo.

Thanks Zulu,

Interesting thing about the architectural rendering is that it depicted graphics on the front of the hut structure similar to those you would find on a traditional Polynesian meeting house.

But the finished project did not have these. Maybe ran out of money?

The signature on the rendering is S. D. Neilson, maybe the architect?

I could not get to the rest of the typed message on the back of the photo as the newspaper article is taped over it and I did not want to damage it.
