The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on #20 white bond paper. Any photos shown in the description are informational only and are NOT included in your purchase.
HISTORY: This plan set includes a site plan showing the basic roof lines, the main floor plan, and the front elevation. It does not include the upper floor, or other elevations and sections. However it would be a simple matter to devise a suitable plan. There is space enough for 3 bedrooms and at least 1 bath.
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 main house itself has outside dimensions of approximately 28' x 53'.
SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. 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.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: Orders shipped to addresses outside the USA may be subject to customs duties at their destination. The buyer is responsible for any such duties.
The original, public domain drawings were prepared by the Historical American Building Survey and rest in the Library of Congress. (VI008)
