G. B. Croff Farrington Estate Plans
A set of drawings by architect G.B. Croff for the remodeling of a house and for a new carriage house for J.H. Farrington, located at Broadway and First Street in Saratoga Springs, New York, circa 1880. There are six drawings for the carriage house: a pencil drawing which is probably a preliminary sketch and five ink drawings. The ink drawings include the Broadway front, the elevation on First Street, and plans for the first and second floors and the basement. The building has many decorative features and includes an elaborate cupola. The first floor has a carriage room, three stalls, a loose box, an office, and storage space. Most of the second floor is the hay loft. The basement has three additional stalls.
The house plans include front, south, and north elevations, the roof plan, room layouts for the first and second floors, a plan for the new basement walls, framing plans (three drawings on one sheet of paper), details of the foundation plans for the new bay windows, and drawings for pantry cabinets. The proposed remodeling plans call for a tower and a veranda, in addition to the new bay windows. The first floor includes an entrance hall, parlor, sitting room, dining hall, family room, kitchen, wash room, water closet, pantry, and storage areas for coal and charcoal. The second floor includes an observatory room in the tower, four chambers, closets, a girl's room (i.e. maid's room?), and a lumber or storage room. The basement plan includes a cistern and a sectional drawing of a water closet. Although the new basement walls are colored in blue, for the first and second floor plans, the old part of the house is in blue and the proposed addition is colored yellow.
