William Drummond started working as a young architect side by side with Frank Lloyd Wright in Louis Sullivan's Chicago office. When Wright started his own office Drummond worked for Wright on many of his most important Prairie homes. Eventually Drummond started his own practice and in 1913 built this house for himself. It's a remarkably compact and efficient plan, minimizing circulation space and packing a surprising number of rooms into a small footprint while still providing the flowing space and vistas that characterize the Prairie Style.
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. Outside dimensions are approximately 56' x 31'.

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 Prairie Style home, not a pseudo-Prairie 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.
