Perched on a rise overlooking the James River, the Jefferies-Bruce house exemplifies the fine residences built for the businessmen and professionals of Scottsville, Virginia. Its classic Palladian proportions and orderly floor plan focused around a central hall give this house a unique grace and formality. The main reception rooms are built up over a high basement, raised to take full advantage of the surrounding views.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on #20 white bond paper.
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. Built at a time when kitchen and bathrooms were in outbuildings, those elements would need to be incorporated. The main level, the second floor, offers plenty of room for an eat-in kitchen, as well as a Dining Room and large Living Room. The ground level offers plenty of room for 4 bedrooms and 1-2 baths. An additional bedroom/bath suite could be fit into the attic. Although ideal for a flat site, these plans would also work on a moderately sloping one. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. Including porches, the main house has outside dimensions of approximately 41’x32’.
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 Frank Lloyd Wright, Irving Gill, Purcell & Elmslie and others.
