Our Victorian home plans were, for the most part, developed by us during our many years spent in and around Key West and the Bahamas. The architecture is definitely Victorian but a particular type of Victorian most prevalent in the Ante Bellum South, British West Indies and the Florida Keys.  The period is 1870 to 1910.  The water color paintings of some of our homes were executed by famed Key West Watercolorist, Ann Irvine.  Photos of these houses are shown on the "Detail Pages" of the individual home.

Garant Homes provides carefully designed, historically accurate Victorian home plans.  Plans that contain the details and construction techniques necessary to construct a Victorian at a reasonable price.  We feature several unique floor plans, including everything from quaint cottages to large, stately homes.  If you're in the market for something, larger look at our King's Cottage which is designed as a fully functional  bed and breakfast.
