Much of the material in this collection was prepared for a series of residences and plans to be published in the Sunday Mail. Little material can be positively identified. Some of these items have numbers on the reverse which appears to signify that these were plans for actual jobs undertaken by Da Costa. A distinct Spanish influence can be discerned in many of the houses. Many of the plans bear the initials A or B, A meaning wooden construction and B denoting brick construction.

The architectural drawings in this collection were prepared in Brisbane for the Wattle Day League Scholarship, drawings prepared while R P Cummings was a student at the Architectural Association, London, including his successful submission for the Rome Scholarship, and drawings prepared in Rome, including measured drawings and reconstructions.

Described in newspapers at the time as a ‘palatial residence’, 'Montrose', was designed by Queensland architect Walter Carey Voller for George Marchant (the philanthropist and soft drink manufacturer). Its features included: 5 acres bordering Swan’s (now Swann), Wilson (now Whitmore St.) and Indooroopilly Roads; large main bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe; bedrooms 2 and 3 with shared bathroom and built in robes; 4 meter high ceilings throughout most of the home; kitchen that opened on to two verandas, and had two walk in pantries; servant quarters; downstairs laundry and bathroom; and verandas around the entire house overlooking Brisbane city and river, Tambourine Mountain, and Mt. Coot-tha. Designed and built around in 1902-1903, Marchant gifted ‘Montrose’ to the Queensland School of Crippled Children in 1933; and in 1938 it was transformed into the King George V. Memorial Home for Returned Sailors and Soldiers (later the RSL). Called ‘Kingshome’, the RSL eventual sold the land for the development of the Kingsholme apartments. This architectual drawing has the floor plans and elevations.
