Built in 1740 by Samuel Dickinson, it remained theancestral home of the Dickinsons for many generations thereafter. John Dickinson, a member of the Continental Congress and author of the celebrated "Farmer Letters" lived and farmed here.
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 tradition and flexibility. The plans could be adapted to accommodate 4 bedrooms and at least 2 bathrooms. On the other hand, parts of the plan could easily be adapted into smaller home designs.

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 Colonial house, not a pseudo-Colonial 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.
