Midway through his term in office it gave him a place to look forward to in retirement. At the time it was a relatively modest house built along Colonial style lines, a simple box with a gabled roof. Van Buren hired Richard Upjohn to expand it and bring it up to date in the latest Italianate fashion. The work included the addition of a wing and a tower, as well as the refacing of the exterior. As he planned, van Buren lived out his retirement, passing away here in 1862 at the age of 79. 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. Built over a full basement, the house has many rooms on the ground floor, which includes the 1849 wing. The upper floor covers less area but still offers more than adequate space for four spacious bedrooms. There is also a full attic. 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 76' x 79'.

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 INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: Orders shipped to addresses outside the USA may be subject to customs duties at their destination. The buyer is responsible for any such duties. The original drawings from which these dimensionally accurate scans were made are kept at the Historic American Building Survey, in the Library of Congress. (VI025)
