The Archer House, in Yorktown, Virginia, is the second house to grace this spot. The original house, built sometime in the 17th century, burnt down in 1814. Soon after, a new house was built atop the original foundations. This is the house we see today. Adjacent to the Archer House archeological excavations have revealed a "bake house". These excavations are shown on this drawing set.
The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1960. This extensive set of 4 drawing sheets includes a site plan, 2 floor plans, a section, 3 elevations, several interesting timber frame details and details of wood trimwork. The original drawings rest in the Library of Congress.
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. This compact little house convenient provides 2 comfortable rooms on the ground floor and 2 rooms in the spacious attic. It could be adapted a number of different ways, to accommodate a variety of needs. 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 20’ x 30’.
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.

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
