Set 6, Designs for a country house with two stories, circa 1810

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 6

Scope and Contents

Includes two plans and two sheets of elevations. This house is basically L-shaped, and it was given two main fronts: what appears to be the land side has a one-story Roman Doric portico (with a door opening into a central hall), and what may be a river front has a two-story Roman Doric portico (giving a one-room wing the appearance of a temple-form building). The plan shows an oval staircase and a built-in bath tub.
