An upstanding, timber framed home of simple and elegant lines, it is a portrait of the disciplined, vigorous man who built it. The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1934. This extensive set of 17 drawing sheets includes a site plan, floor plans, exterior elevations, sections, and many fine details such as a staircase, cabinetry, mantelpieces and interior decoration. The original drawings rest in the Library of Congress. As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. These plans are ideal for a flat site. The main block of the house is a classic 2 story, 4x4 plan, 2 rooms on either side of a central hallway that stretches from the front door all the way to the back. A 2 story wing extends off the back. As it stands, this house contains 4 reception rooms, a large kitchen and as many as 8 bedrooms. A simple modern adaptation would be to devote the first floor of the back wing to a garage. If fewer bedrooms are needed this rear wing could be made a single story. An unusual feature of this house is the continuous clerestory window that lights the attic. The home has outside dimensions of approximately 47’ x 73’. Please visit my other auctions for many other drawings I am offering. I have house plans in wide variety of styles including Colonial, Craftsman, and Prairie, as well as plans of architects such as Thomas Jefferson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Irving Gill, Purcell & Elmslie and others.
