The wood and brick Palmer House (before 1800), in Orange County, North Carolina, resembles the Williamsburg houses. Its interior is spacious and elegant. It has an unusual lateral front hall. Built over a brick raised basement the house itself is wood framed with clapboard siding. The principal floor has two large rooms and a small room, in addition to the large entry hall. The attic with dormers is at present two large rooms.
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 could easily be adapted to a flat to moderately sloping site. The first floor could be arranged a number of ways, depending on your needs. The small room could serve as a kitchen alcove off of a family room. Or it could be kept separate and used as a small first floor bedroom. The attic could comfortably accommodate 2 bedrooms and 1 to 2 bathrooms. On a sloping site a ‘walk out’ basement could provide additional living space. Its exterior dimensions measure roughly 34’x45’-6”. This compact, efficient house, with the appearance of being a single story, would be equally comfortable in town, suburb or country setting.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1965. This extensive set of 11 drawing sheets includes a site plan, three floor plans, four elevations, a section and two sheets of interior details.

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 Antebellum house, not a pseudo-southern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
