The Peak House, in Medfield, Massachusetts, is an extraordinarily well preserved example of an early colonial timber frame home. It was built around 1680 and retains early colonial features such as casement rather than double hung windows and a massive brick fireplace.
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 house is the epitome of a cottage, with 1 medium sized and one small room (possible kitchen) on the ground level. A tight staircase leads to the attic, suitable for a single bedroom and bath. This house is suited to a flat or low slope site. It would be comfortable in a suburb or country setting. The house has outside dimensions of approximately 15’x 24’.

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
The original drawings from which these dimensionally accurate scans were made are kept at the Historic American Building Survey, in the Library of Congress.
