Looking for (free, online) architectural sketches

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So I'm doing a bit of decorating/redecorating and I would like to just print out a few choice sketches from the internet and throw them into some existing frames I have. They are small frames, so it wouldn't have to be too hi-res. I am thinking some classic architectural sketches or industrial schematics/patent applications for famous things.

Something along the lines of these, but I would need bigger.

That's a really cool idea. Unfortunately, I can't help you. Maybe Library of congress website or archive.org?

etc.
