William Drummond, an important figure among Prairie School architects designed this dramatic Prairie Style house for Ralph Baker in 1913. Among its special features are a double-height living room and a broadly horizontal roofline that is quintessential Prairie Style.
The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 1967. This extensive set of 6 drawing sheets includes a cover sheet with notes, a site plan, 3 floor plans, 2 exterior elevations, a section, and several details of built in cabinetry and windows. 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. These plans are ideal for a flat site. The first floor contains a suite of 3 large reception rooms, as well as the kitchen, a small bedroom and a half-bath. The second floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. There is also a single room occupying the third floor, potentially a study or private retreat space. The house has outside dimensions of approximately 54’ x 60’.
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 historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
