It’s a shame that the architectural plan isn’t a bit more clean but this is a rare find just the same. Seemingly out of place in a vintage novel, this public domain house plan and house drawing might make a wonderful addition to your project. Or, if you are interested in building a home with a design circa 1810, you might also find this copyright free house plan useful.
What I love about these old homes is they didn’t waste a lot of space with long hallways. Each room flows into the next which would seem a far better utilization of each square foot.
This drawing is from an 1813 edition of Pride and Prejudice.
