House Plan Description
The Philadelphia Much as the Enlightenment sobered the Baroque, pride in America's Federalist past helped reform the garish excesses of the Victorian Gothic. Reason moderated romance in our domestic architecture, and Americans recommitted themselves to Founding Principles. Unfortunately, the founding architectural principles were imperfectly understood by builder/architects and the "Federal Revival" houses, circa 1890-1910, were all-too-often thinly detailed and awkwardly massed. Not until a new, classically trained, generation of architects entered the field, did the style assert an influence on our cities and towns. Over time, architecturally accurate pattern books enabled the new classists to revive and sometimes to better the original Federalist architects. Variations of the "Federal Revival" persist to this day, despite the aggressive assaults of egoistic modernists.

Characteristics\
Features This small but sturdy Federal Revival home is logically designed to order family life. Its various parts are scaled to human needs and ordered by a "Golden Mean" composition that centralizes terminal elements and garden vitas. The well-ordered garden contains neat, geometrically planted herbs and vegetables, an expanding lawn, and a meandering decorative walk. The home's interior contains all the amenities requisite to modern living: a kitchen island, master bath, ample closets, et cetera. Like a good citizen, the home bows to the vicissitudes' necessary for elegant 18th Century living: open porches one with 95% conditioned, invisible screens; refined interior detailing on walls, cabinets, fireplaces; and a scenic, Federalist panoramic townscape above the wainscot of the dining room walls. Too, the home would very-much like a few, correct examples of Federalist furniture. |

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans.com are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see What's Included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
