The Bowden-Armistead House - 1856
The brick Bowden-Armistead house, in Williamsburg, Virginia, is an elegant, efficient example of the "4 over 4" plan, which has a central hall with 2 rooms on each side, repeated on the 2 levels. At the Bowden house a later addition to the rear provides some extended useful spaces as well as a delightful second level porch.
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 could easily be adapted to a flat to moderately sloping sight. The first floor consists of 5 rooms, one of which could easily serve as a bedroom. The second floor provides 4 more bedrooms as well as several baths and a porch. The whole sits on a raised basement. This house would be suited to either a suburban or country setting.

SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, by US Postal Service, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube.
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 Colonial building, not a pseudo-colonial tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf. (CW002)
