DescriptionPlans for a two and one-half story house in the "farm house" style featuring a gable roof with overhanging eaves, a large attic dormer with tri-part window, covered front and rear porches, as well as second floor rear balcony.

Windows on the house are primarily louvered double-hung sash windows in either the eight-over-eight, eight-over-one, six-over-one, or four-over-one configuration.

Seven drawings are included in the set: front, rear, south and north elevations, as well as cellar, first floor, and second floor plans. The cellar plans include a coal room, heater, and cold room. First floor plans include a rear porch, kitchen, pantry, dining room, living room, entry hall with stair, and front porch. Second floor plans include four chambers (bedrooms), a bath, hall, and balcony.

NotesSubject Note: Whilst drawings for Job #81 (1999.100.332.1-.7), Job #82 (1999.100.331.1-.2), and Job #83 (1999.100.313.1-.14) suggest individual houses, they share a common style with subtle differences in the roof plans, and near identical floor plans. If built, these house likely reside in the same neighborhood.
