I’m planning to build a home for myself in the Va. Tidewater style or Williamsburg style and have not not been able to find any design or plan books. I’m a professional builder but this will be my personal home. Any ideas?
Thanks, Bill Swales

I don't have any books focusing on modern plans of Tidewater or Williamsburg house but I do have several that deal with the traditional building styles of Williamburg and Tidewater houses. Whether or not they would be of help depends on how much material you already have. I'm sure that there is a resource at Williamsburg that publishes books focusing on this.
Incidentally, I also am a remodel type on the Main Line. Let me know if I can help.

*Bill, since I live and contract in the Williamsburg area, I'll try to help. Please e-mail me with more details of what you're seeking - size, one or two-storey, footprint limitations, etc. - and I'll see what I can come up with here.(click on my name in blue for my e-mail address)Happy Thanksgiving, Steve
