With the “System Built” concept he explored the possibility of creating a kit of parts that could be assembled into a variety of different house plans. Only a few of these houses were built. This house, in Milwaukie, Wisconsin, is an excellent example. Built originally as a duplex it was later remodeled into a single family home. These drawings reflect that remodeling. The house is a 2-story design, built over a raised basement which contains utilities. The first floor consists of a Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen with a breakfast area. There is also a WC on this level. The second floor contains a bedroom/bath suite, 2 bedrooms, a sleeping porch and a bathroom. This is a very efficient plan, well suited for a narrow lot in a city. The skillful arrangement of windows brings lots of natural light to all the rooms. SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, 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 historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
