1895 Rural House Plans
For the next few weeks I'm going to be posting house plans from 1895 for Rural homes. Note that there is no bathroom in these plans because they were designed for a rural setting.
Oh my word - the bottom one is the same floor plan from the house we lived in before this one! Where the kitchen is here was our bathroom. The living room was our kitchen. The parlor was our living room. And the two bedroom over the kitchen were one big room. Sweet!
Wow, these are so great! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThat's cool, Pegg
DeleteWonder if these are designed to be built in sections, with additions as the family grows.
ReplyDeleteCathy they did in some cases. Over the next few weeks you'll be seeing additional house plans.
