The two drawings, entitled as "Drawings of Steel and Concrete Amusement Hall on New Pier for Associated Realties Corporation" are by H.A. Stout for his 1906 design efforts to build the Steeplechase Pier, an amusement pier building in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The two drawings present the front and rear elevations and a longitudinal section for the famous amusement pier building filled with amusement arcades, popular rides, and live entertainment for beach vacationers. Stout's architectural plans were likely intended to be used onsite as well as in the architect's planning office.
