HISTORY: Salvage wrecker and marine architect Asa Tift built this house in Key West in 1851. Here in 1931 Ernest Hemingway found a place he could truly call home. It was here that he wrote several of his most famous novels, including A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway and his wife Pauline Pfeiffer lived here until 1939, surrounded not only by the art they had collected on trips to Paris, but especially by their celebrated cats.
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 deep, wrap-around porch, part of which is enclosed, leads to a central entry hall flanked on one side by a large living room and on the other by a dining room. To the rear is a wing which contains the kitchen. On the second floor there is a Master Bedroom with bath, two additional bedrooms and one more bath.  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 51' x 53'.

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 Victorian Style home, not a pseudo-Victorian tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
