This series examines the history of cartographic rendering: mapping to investigate the distinct identities of spaces, dwelling rights, and contemporary perspectives of nostalgia. The work utilizes phenomenological approaches to documenting abandoned and destroyed sites. 1163 Mary Street, in Springfield, Missouri, is nearly invisible to the community within which it resides, though it remains intact, collecting dust and mildew atop obsolete technologies, peeling tile, furniture, and architectural remnants–such as the bathtub, a part of the 1163 Mary Street house since its construction in 1941.
