Besides architectural drawings, there are handwritten notes by Parker and architectural supply lists. There are also several letters written by one of Parker’s clients, and a newspaper clipping advertising a Grove subdivision. From 1924 to 1929 Charles Parker (1885-1961) worked as an architect in the construction of the Grove Arcade, a shopping center in Asheville, North Carolina.
