The Nathaniel Baker timber frame cottage was a little gem of Colonial simplicity in design. One story with room in the attic for bedrooms, it's all a small family needs. This set of drawings contains many detailed drawings of timber frame details and framing plans. It's an invaluable resource for anybody interested in early American timber construction. The home itself is full of charm, with its massive chimney, and ground hugging gabled shape. The attic plan shows undivided space. There is easily room enough for 2 bedrooms and a bath. With a bit of ingenuity a third bedroom might be fit in.

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. The plan is ideally suited for a flat site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This spacious home has outside dimensions of approximately 24' x 33'.

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.
