I was able to get them to come up using this URL:

http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=hhphoto&fileName=pa/pa1900/pa1908/photos/browse.db&action=browse

That's as short as I could get the URL while making it still work. I would
love to know just how much it has cost the taxpayer so that the LOC URLs are
unsharable half the time...

Please not that (most of the time) LOC URLs which have the word "temp" in
them won't work outside of the current browsing session. Ones that do work are
usually 300% longer than they need to be in order to function.

Direct URLs to the two TIFF format medium resolution tower drawings (why don't
they have jpegs?) are:

http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa1900/pa1908/sheet/00001r.tif

http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa1900/pa1908/sheet/00002r.tif

Those two "Larger reference" images are HUGE, more than 7000 pixels wide
each!

The first is a site and floorplan drawing and the second is exterior
elevations and interior sections.

Aw the heck with it, I converted them to JPegs and rescaled them to 2000
pixels wide each so listers won't have to muck around. Their little gifs are
useless and most browsers won't display TIFFs without plugins. Our Tax Dollars
at work I guess...
