In the year 1695 the Olney family built a gambrel roofed cottage in Lincoln Woods, Rhode Island. Just a single room on the ground floor and a single room in the attic, this little house served the family well. Just before the revolution the family expanded the cottage with a 2 story addition, the home we see today.
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. The first floor offers the potential for a ground level bedroom suite, as well as Living Room, Dining Room and a Kitchen large enough to satisfy all modern needs. The second floor offers enough space to accommodate a Master Bedroom suite as well as 2 addition bedrooms and a bath. Please note that the drawings you are purchasing are of a REAL colonial house and do not contain modern conveniences such as indoor baths. But these plans are very suitable to adaptation to modern needs. Although ideal for a flat site, these plans would also work on a moderately sloping one. This house would be comfortable in a suburb or country setting. The main house has outside dimensions of approximately 28’x55’. The ground floor contains approximately 1080 square feet. The second floor covers a similar area except that the space over the kitchen has a low ceiling.
Please visit my other listings 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.
