“Red Rocks” was the home of journalist and editor William Allen White. His home is a beautiful example of the Tudor style, one of the many styles that was popularly revived around the turn of the century. The Kansas City architects Wight and Wight provided a design that skillfully mixed a broad range of materials, stone, brick, half-timber (stucco and wood) and a slate roof. The house, as it appears in these drawings, reflects extensive remodeling that was done in the 1920s after a fire destroyed the original roof.
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 first floor consists of a large Living Room with several sitting areas, a large Dining Room, a Kitchen with 2 pantries and a WC. A large trellised porch opens off the Living Room. The second floor consists of 5 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. There is room for an additional 3-4 bedrooms in the attic. The house is built over a full basement. Pergolas lead to a carport that accommodates 1 car. Although ideal for a flat site, these plans would also work on a moderately sloping one. This house would be comfortable in a suburb or country setting. Excluding porches and pergolas, the main house has outside dimensions of approximately 36’6”’x63’. More space would be needed to accommodate the porches and pergola.
The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 2002. This extensive set of 13 drawing sheets includes 4 floor plans, 4 elevations, and 5 sheets of details showing fireplaces, stairs, interior and exterior trim, cabinetry, doors and windows. The original drawings rest in the Library of Congress.

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 historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
