I am presently attempting to determine building dimensions and the 
distances between structures from historic photographs taken during the 
1880s and 1890s.  I’ve been using various photogrametric calculations and 
perspective drawing measuring techniques, but I can’t help but feel that I 
may have overlooked something.  As such, I would appreciate it if someone 
could provide me with information / references for determining dimensions 
from historic photographs.

Also, I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with references 
pertaining to frontier / boomtown type, wood framed and timber framed 
construction practices for residential and commercial structures (ca.1880s 
to 1900s).

With Thanks,
