The 1885 version was built in Kansas City, MO and was documented in a book of old house plans. The illustration in the lower right corner is from that book. The original house, pictured to the right, still stands in the Pendleton Heights neighborhood of Kansas City, MO.

In 1999, my wife and I accepted the challenge to reconstruct this house in a manner that embraced the intricate details of this grand, High-Victorian home.

We hope you find inspiration here as you consider your personal Dream House project. Just select a tab, above, (start with "The Dream" and work your way across).
