Ashland - Belle Helene, iconic southern plantation - 1850s
Ashland, later known as Belle Helene, is one of the most pure examples of the Classical Revival movement. Surrounded on all 4 sides by identical colonnades of powerful square columns it has an almost overwhelming solidity and dignity. Nearly destroyed during the Civil War, Duncan Kenner, its owner and builder, restored it and the entire plantation to its earlier magnificence.
The original drawings were delineated in 1990. This extensive set of 9 drawing sheets includes a site plan, 2 floor plans, 2 sections, 4 elevations, and 2 sheets of details. 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. The house is skillfully designed for a southern climate. A central hall runs straight through from front to back on each floor. On either side are 3 rooms, each opening onto the surrounding colonnade. This arrangement provides for natural ventilation throughout the entire house. This house would be most suited for a flat or low sloping lot. It would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. Including porches, this house has outside dimensions of approximately 82’ x 82’.

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 Southern Style house, not a pseudo-southern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
FOR ORDERS OUTSIDE THE USA: Orders shipped to addresses outside the USA may be subject to customs duties at their destination. The buyer is responsible for any such duties. Also, at the present time we are unable to offer shipment tracking with our international orders.
