A. Hays Town

This may not be the place to ask but does anyone know where I can find some home designs by A. Hays Town? I've seen a house in Shreveport that I love but I don't want to bother the people that live there too much by asking them for blue prints and such. Anyway the house was basically a copy of a A. Hays Town design. I'll try to post the pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated.

he has at least 2 books that I know of that are expensive but worth it if you are interested. This guy is fascinating. Hope this helps.

One of his books is a coffee table book for about $30 and the other has 120 of his designs but it cost $2000. I was wondering if there were any other places to look.

I have that coffee table book. I bet they have these books at LSU's library

I have the coffee table book also. It has some great looking houses in it but I would like to see some plans so I can possible choose one for a future home.

Just go to the library and checkout his books. I love A. Hays Town designed houses also. He uses a lot of reclaimed wood and brick in his homes.
I already have that one. The one I would really like to see is The Architectural Style of A. Hays Town, but unfortunately it runs around $2000.

So are 90% of the houses in every subdivision built along Highland Road in the past 40 or so years, including CCLA.
For better or worse, the dude pretty much dictated the "look" of upper middle class residential BR for this era.

I think it was for the better. LA truly has unique homes due to the popularity of the "French-acadian" style. When I was interviewing for jobs I went to Tyler Tx. What I call the Texas "rock" style was everywhere and the classiest custom ones looked like spec houses compared to a custom built A. Hays Town designed home. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

its also a material issue in texas..The texas rock you speak of is very abundent in texas so it makes it easy to build houses out of it..

where did you see it? or post pictures. in summer 08, i worked for a home builder in shreveport that was given that book as a guide as to what the design was going for. i think it was in providence though but definately in the norris ferry area. if youre building, i could give you his name

It's at the corner of Gilbert and Querbes. I don't think it's a new home.
