Kennedy Residence - 1860s
The central portion of this charming Creole cottage was built around 1860, with a small side extension built soon after. By the turn of the century it had acquired a rather ungainly 2 story addition to the rear. The drawings we offer do not include this rear addition.
The skill of Mobile, Alabama's builders is in evidence even a small home like this, as demonstrated by its graceful and elegant porches and dormers.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were carefully drawn in 1966. This set of 3 drawing sheets includes a small site plan, two floor plans, the front elevation, and a section through the principal rooms. 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 of slightly sloping lot in an urban, suburban or country setting. At just over 32' wide it can fit comfortably on a narrow city lot. The house contains 2 principal rooms downstairs. The attic has a bedroom with a small room next to it which could serve as a bath. The stair landing is large enough to serve as a study. This house has outside dimensions of approximately 36’-7" x 32’-5".
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 Creole style cottage, not a pseudo-southern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
