Floor Plans Anyone?

One of the most frustrating parts of restoring our house is the lack of floor plans. I mean, we have spent more hours then I care to count searching old house websites, plan books, kit home floor plans and more. To-date we have not found a single plan that matched our house.

We have discovered that our house is a Rural Dutch Colonial Revival. It is a rural because of the way our gambrel roof flares out to disperse rain and snow. But other than that, we have not learned much more.

About the closest floor plan we found thus far is the Montgomery Ward "Elizabeth". This plan is close because it does feature the shed dormers and kitchen, pantry and dining room. The stairs would need to be flipped to the living room side of the floor plan and another wall divides the living room into two separate rooms. Of course, the second floor plan does not match at all - but that part of the house has really not been modified much.

For now, this is what we are using to guide us as we continue our remodeling. This happens to be the closest floor plan to what we suspect is the actual plan for this house based on the evidence of the floors and ceilings. It will be interesting, to say the least!
