    HISTORY: Orson Squire Fowler published, "The Octagon House, a Home for All", in 1848. It was immensely popular and gave rise to a brief flurry of Octagon homes across the country. Fowler was by no means the first, Thomas Jefferson having pioneered it many decades before (plans available

    ). But his presentation of the concept was so enticing that many took up the challenge. Few pulled it off with such panache, or at such a large scale as Paul J. Armour, when he built this house in Irvington, New York.
    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 or moderately sloping site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This spacious home has outside dimensions of approximately 76' x 76', which includes the porch.
    SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. This eBay listing includes architectural prints ONLY. Any photos shown in the description are for information only and are NOT included in your purchase. For information about the photos please send me a message through eBay. Thanks.
    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 Antebellum house, not a pseudo-southern 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.
