HISTORY: The brick Griffin (aka William Byrd III) House (1760s), in Williamsburg, Virginia, has passed through many owners over the years and has seen many alterations. It now serves as office space for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and has yet to be restored to its original condition. These drawings reflect its varied history. It is an elegantly simple rectangular plan, with a principal floor over a raised basement. The large attic with dormers accommodates several bedrooms and a bathroom.
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 adapted to a flat or moderately sloping site. The first floor consists of 4 rooms around a stair hall that runs the depth of the house. A first floor bedroom and bath could be accommodated easily. The second (attic) floor could easily fit 2 bedrooms, a bath and a master bedroom suite. Its exterior dimensions measure just under 35’x59’. This spacious house with the appearance of being a single story would be equally comfortable in town, suburb or country setting.

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 Antebellum house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
