Braeme House, 1841
This unusual small home has all the grace and elegance of the large Greek Revival plantation mansions of the old South, but wrapped up in a compact package, 4 rooms on the ground floor and 3 bedrooms in the attic. It has a central hall, stretching from the front door to the back, an essential and very popular feature in the South because it encourages cross ventilation through the house, mitigating some of the summer heat and humidity. Three bedrooms in the attic could easily be supplemented with an addition of 2 baths, with no impact on the restrained and elegant exterior. Depending on a family's needs, one of the 4 large rooms on the ground floor could also serve as a bedroom. This drawing package also includes plans for the 2 room cottage that tucks behind the main house.
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. The plan is ideally suited for a flat site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This spacious home has outside dimensions of approximately 43' x 49', which includes porches.

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 Greek Revival Southern Style home, not a pseudo-Southern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
