The first floor contains four principal rooms wrapping around the stair core. The second and third floors each contain four bedrooms and ancillary rooms. As is typical of homes of this period, bathing and toilet facilities are minimal. But the plan would be very easy to update to modern requirements. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1935, with all the style and grace of draftsmanship of that era. These drawings include beautiful interior details of doors, windows, stairs and trim. The originals 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 could easily be reduced and adapted to a 2-story design, ideal for a country setting with porches wrapping all around. SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. This eBay listing includes architectural prints ONLY. Any photos shown in the description are for information only and are NOT included in your purchase. For information about the photos please send me a message through eBay. Thanks. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD: These plans are not complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
