The Craftsman style may have its roots in the British Arts & Crafts movement but in the USA clearly evolved into its own, unique regional style. It can be found from coast to coast, in every region of the country, gently adapted to its surroundings, climate, local materials and immediate setting. This classic example, from Yosemite Valley, California was built as a small hotel, with guest rooms opening out onto wraparound porches. The hotel was celebrated for its "tree room", a room built around a massive redwood tree that rose right through its ceiling. The hotel started life in the 1870s but fell into disrepair during the depression and was torn down in the early 1940s. The only reminder we have of it today are these drawings and the photos taken over the years by its guests.
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, a simple schema that could be adapted in so many different ways, both smaller and larger.

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 Craftsman house, not a pseudo-Craftsman tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
The original drawings from which these dimensionally accurate scans were made are kept at the Historic American Building Survey, in the Library of Congress.
