There is something about a brick house that ordinary wood frame houses never capture. Even the charm and grace of a wood Craftsman bungalow can't compete with the sense of timelessness and permanency of a brick home. An unusual brick pattern, leaded casement windows, a cottage style combine to create what many consider to be

Architect: Sextus Dyball From The Architect, November 13, 1875:This cottage residence has been recently erected upon a site in Church Road, Upper Norwood, for Mr. James Franks. The accommodation was especially arranged to suit the requirements of the owner. The brickwork is executed in dark-coloured stock bricks, relieved with bands and arches of blue and
This is my favorite house plan ever! Scanned from one of my 1st edition architectural books. In the early part of the previous century the white pine council published bi-monthly booklets called The White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs ~ A Bi-Monthly Publication Suggesting the Architectural Uses of White Pine and its Availability Today as a Structural Wood. At the end of the year they were hard bound. I have hard bound firsts of volumes 2, 3, and 4. They must be very rare because I have never been able to locate the first volume. I do have a complete set of the modern reprints but nothing compares to the originals! The house pictured above is one of the winners of a contest called: The Second Annual White Pine Architectural Competition for a House to Cost Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars. It was judged at the Greenbrier in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia on May 17 & 18, 1917. My guy did not win any of the top prizes (1st ~ 4th) but he is the 5th mention for Design No. 194. I wonder if he became famous in his area? Let me know if you have heard of Benj. Schreyer, New York, N.Y. Don't you wonder if this home was ever built and if it is still standing? There are two enclosed porches on the first floor and two sleeping porches on the second floor. Oh, for a sleeping porch! The plot plan is lovely too. I did not scan the detail sheet showing the fireplace side of the dining room, the front entrance, a couple of cornices, the north and west elevations. and the cross section. Hopefully this design will inspire one of my readers and this home will be built again. UPDATE: I have noticed a lot of interest in this post. I reblogged about this house with full sets of plans HERE.
