Architectural blueprints, Colonial Saltbox, birthplace of President John Adams, before 1735
John Adams, second president of the United States was born in this house, to Deacon John and his wife Susanna. This home and the neighboring home (see my listing for John Quincy Adams) remained the home of the Adams’ as the generations passed.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1979. This extensive set of 4 drawing sheets includes a site plan, 3 floor plans, a section, 4 elevations and several interesting details of trimwork. The original drawings rest in the Library of Congress.
As a work of art these blueprints 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 has plenty of space on the ground floor for Living Room, Dining Room, kitchen/family room and a ground floor bedroom and bath. The second floor comfortably accommodates 2 bed/bath suites or 2 bedrooms, a bath and a study/play area. That attic is high enough that it could be finished space as well. This house is suited to a flat or low slope site. It would be comfortable in a suburb or country setting. The house has outside dimensions of approximately 42’x42’.
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.

SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. The pictures on eBay show typical sheets with borders. Each sheet has a similar border with title. If you have any questions about these drawings or others that I am offering, please contact me. I will do my utmost to answer your questions.
FOR ORDERS OUTSIDE THE USA: You may be required to pay customs duties in your country. These seem to be applied inconsistently and we cannot calculate them when they do apply. Also, at he present time we are unable to offer shipment tracking with our international orders.
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 saltbox house, not a pseudo-colonial tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
