This lovely Victorian Gothic home is on the property of the great Bucks County, PA estate of Andalusia. It has exquisite Gothic detailing on the exterior while the interior has a more restrained Greek Revival feel. The wide front porch, extending the entire width of the front elevation, sets the tone of graciousness and hospitality. With 5 bedrooms on the upper floor and a ground floor bedroom easily accommodated as well, this house has room for a large family. Want to start your own Bed & Breakfast? This place has all you need.
The house had several additions, over time. Consequently, the plan is such that it would be very easy to adapt it to a smaller home, by simply removing some of the additions.

, a delightful 2-story "tiny house" in the gardens of the same estate.
It is believed the architect is Thomas Walter, responsible for designing the main house on the Andalusia estate. Walter was the architect of the Capitol dome in Washington DC.
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 or moderately sloping site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This spacious home has outside dimensions of approximately 56' x 67' plus terraces.

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