Welcome to Historic Home Plans, your online resource for measured drawings of REAL historic homes from all across the USA. These drawings all come from the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) archives in the Library of Congress, an invaluable resource to all who are interested in a deeper understanding of America's architectural traditions.
We at Historic Home Plans have compiled some of the most interesting plans from HABS and are making these drawings available to you on full size architectural sheets, typically 18" x 24" or 24" x 36". These are accurate, measured, architectural prints, with dimensions. Many of these drawings contain beautiful architectural details, such as Victorian bracketed cornices, Colonial mantels, stairways and more.
