Provenance: Property from the Estate of Blaine and Hulda Drake.

Shulman's architectural studies of three homes designed by former Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice and influential Phoenix architect Blaine Drake: the Chase-Alden house at 5348 North 24th Street; the Drakes' own home at 5210 North 22nd Street; and the Owen Residence at 5326 North 24th Street. Blaine and Hulda Drake and their children also appear in several of the photographs. It was during one of his trips to Phoenix to photograph Drake's houses that Shulman was first introduced by Drake to Wright, which lead to Shulman's photographing several of latter's projects, as well.
