    Shadows on the Teche, once seen, is never forgotten. The name of its designer is lost to history but the owners were the David Weeks family, whose ancestors had fled England after backing the Royalists in the Cromwellian revolution. David Weeks died the year the house was finished, leaving a wife and children behind. She later married but two of her children died too, victims of a hurricane. After the Civil War the her surviving son inherited the estate but struggled to keep it intact. Over the following decades it gradually reduced from 158 acres down to just 2 1/2 acres.
    The design exemplifies the Greek Revival style as it was perfected for the southern, hot/humid climate, with spacious porches providing shade while allowing breezes to flow through the house. The detailing throughout the house is of the highest quality, both in design and execution.
    The original drawings were delineated around 1934, with the beautifully draftsmanship typical of that time. Any photos shown in the description are informational only and NOT included in this order, which consists only of architectural drawings.
    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.
    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: Once your payment has cleared Paypal your file (in some cases 2 files), will be emailed to your Paypal listed email address and marked as "shipped". Please make certain your email service is capable of receiving attachments of at least 15 MB. Although I attempt to fulfill orders daily please allow up to 48 hours to receive your emailed file. Thank you.
    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 Antebellum house, not a pseudo-southern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
    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 the present time we are unable to offer shipment tracking with our international orders.
