Check out these meticulously drawn architectural plans and detailed cost estimates for the restoration of a townhouse in the medieval walled city of Cittadella and a farmhouse in nearby Galliera, both in the Veneto, Italy from 1833.
The architect, Giuseppe Volebele, compiled, signed, and dated all six sections of this codex. But in the end, the project was never executed.
The cost estimates included the labor of masons, woodworkers, stone cutters, and various contractors. It must have been a disappointment for the architect and all the other potential contractors.
