In the Gates Residence of 1904 Bernard Maybeck fused his unique approach to the Arts & Crafts ideal with a mixture of popular decorative idioms, notably Swiss Chalet and Italian style. The spaces inside all flow from the main entry and stair hall which is set half way between the first and second floors. The first floor contains the kitchen, dining room, a study and small sitting room. The second floor focuses around a grand living room and music room. There is also a bedroom and bath on this level. The third level, which tucks under the eaves almost like an attic, contains 3 bedrooms, 1 and potentially 2 baths and a playspace. The house gives the impression, from the exterior, of being only 2 stories but is actually three.
The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1980. This extensive set of 10 drawing sheets includes a site/roof plan with notes, 3 floor plans, 3 exterior elevations, 2 sections, and details of interior woodwork and trim. The original drawings rest in the Library of Congress.
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. These plans are ideal for a flat to moderately sloping site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This house has outside dimensions of approximately 33’ x 53’.
Please visit my other auctions 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.

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 drawings from which these dimensionally accurate scans were made are kept at the Historic American Building Survey, in the Library of Congress.
