DescriptionPlans for a two-story house with cellar and attic. The house has three chimneys and two lunette windows, one on the front and one on the back of the house. The house has two porches with brick floors, one on the front and one on the south side of the house.
The drawings include front, north, south and rear elevations and floor plans for the cellar, first, second, and attic/roof levels. The cellar plans include a laundry room, a coal heater, and several areas labeled 'excavate for cinder fill only.' The first floor has a kitchen, front and side porch, living room, several baths and closets, a butler's pantry, a dining room, a card room, and a sun parlor. The second floor has two maid's rooms, baths and closets, a hall, and four chambers (bedrooms). The attic plans only show a tar paper room.
