Haunted "Gingerbread" house (plans)

Just in time for Trick or Treat,
Just a little design fun in October...

Needed a break from Cabin designs, so here's an old style re-drawn from sddrawings.com

I can not imagine anyone building a turn-of the century design like this anymore.  Normally this house would have multiple coal fireplaces, probably one in each room; and usually those fireplaces would split rooms, say between the Dining and Family Rooms.  The fireplaces would then share a flue. I opted out of drawing those.  Also, I added amenities such as indoor plumbing and closets. A closet was uncommon as everyone used wardrobes.  I still prefer a wardrobe and dresser over a closet.
  • 5 bed / 3.5 bath
  • Walk-in Pantry w/mop sink & broom hanging rack
  • Serving bar between Kitchen & Dining
  • Haunted Library where books fly off the shelves
  • Spooky Den
  • Scariest thing, 2 study areas upstairs for kids to put homework desks
