Floor plans, elevations, sketches Roc's Comments: I love Maude March. When she and John asked me to design their home I was delighted to do it. Their family and John's legal career were young and it was difficult to satisfy all of John's requirements. I don't think I succeeded as, once it was done, I never heard from John again. I still love Maude March.
