An incredible find. I picked up this photo and partial invoice for $20 at an antique mall in Findlay, Ohio. The picture, taken by photographer Victor Dye, shows the residence of Samuel Slatzer at 215 South Bever Street in Wooster, Ohio. (Unfortunately, the house was demolished between 1960 and 1982.)
The invoice reveals that Slatzer paid at least $998.92 (about $20,000 in today's dollars) for building materials for the house. These materials included sash weights, window sashes, flooring, sheathing, siding, and cut lumber. The purchases occurred in November and December, though the year isn't recorded. Slatzer moved to Wooster from Franklin Township between 1910 and 1920, and judging by the house's design, I'd guess a date in the second half of the decade. The lumber and materials came from Wooster's D.C. Curry Lumber Company, which managed to hang on until 2018 and was just down the street from Slatzer's house.
What's interesting, to me, is that Samuel Slatzer evidently paid for the materials himself, rather than allowing a carpenter or builder to handle such things. He farmed before retiring and moving into his house, so it's hard to guess his construction knowhow. Did he build his own home? Or did he make the purchases on behalf of a builder, who actually did the hard work of choosing materials? Did the plans come from a pattern book? All mysteries lost to time. In any case, construction records for particular old buildings are about the hardest things to find, so I give thanks to the antiquing gods for smiling upon me!

Ai Weiwei: Making Sense
COLOURED HOUSE, 2013
Wood, paint, crystal glass
This house once belonged to a prosperous family in Zhejiang province, in Eastern China, during the early Qing dynasty (1644 - 1911 CE). The timber frame follows a traditional post-and-beam system. Most houses of this period have been demolished, giving this structure a ghostly quality.
Artist Ai Weiwei rescued the house from destruction and has painted the house with industrial colours, combining ancient and modern, and installed it on crystal bases-giving presence and status to this unlikely survivor.
