Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architectural Styles for Country Houses Our friend who was about to build decides that the sub ject will bear deeper investigation, and postpones the execu tion of working drawings. It is an excellent thing, for most of us build but once, unfortunately, and the errors we fall into in haste we Shall live to repent at leisure. While the 'failure to include back stairs may cause us temporary in convenience, and may in time be remedied, the style of our house will abide with us for the rest of our days, and if we have chosen unwisely in our haste there is nothing about the whole structure that may become so insistently repellent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes of Moderate Size: A Collection of Photographs and Plans of Modern Suburban and Country Homes, Following the Colonial, Italian and English Architectural Styles, and Arranged Accordingly The specifications should of course be very carefully prepared. Specifications that are ambiguous, or repeat, are likely to make the house cost more than it should, for the contractor, if he is in doubt, will add enough to be safe. The specifications should be clear, concise, complete and supplement the working drawing and details. The architect knows the contractors and who's who among them, and can save the owner a_ great deal of money by judicious selection. If competitive bids are called for, the contract should be given to the lowest bidder, for none should be asked to esti mate on the work unless he is competent and responsible. It costs the contractor money to figure on work, especially if he is to give a careful estimate. One often hears the remark, It does not always pay to give it to the lowest bidder. The qualifications of the contractors should be looked into before they are allowed to bid, not after. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architecture of Country Houses: Including Designs for Cottages, Farm Houses, and Villas, With Remarks on Interiors, Furniture, and the Best Modes of Warming and Ventilating There are three excellent reasons why my countrymen should have good houses. The first is, because a good house (and by this I mean a fitting, tasteful, and significant dwelling) is a powerful means of civilization. A nation, whose rural population is content to live in mean huts and miserable hovels, is certain to be behind its neighbors in education, the arts, and all that makes up the external Signs of progress. With the perception of proportion, symmetry, order, and beauty, awakens the desire for possession, and with them comes that refinement of manners which distinguishes a civilized from a coarse and brutal people. So long as men are forced to dwell in log huts and follow a hunter's life, we must not be surprised at lynch law and the use of the bowie knife. But, when smiling lawns and tasteful cottages begin to embellish a country, we know that order and culture are established. And, as the first incentive towards this change is awakened in the minds of most men by the perception of beauty and superiority in external objects, it must follow that the interest manifested in the Rural Architecture of a country like this, has much to do with the progress of its civilization. The second reason is, because the individual home has a great social value for a people. Whatever new systems may be needed for the regeneration of an old and enfeebled nation, we are persuaded that, in America, not only is the distinct family the best social form, but those elementary forces which give rise to the highest genius and the finest character may, for the most part, be traced back to the farm-house and the rural cottage. It is the solitude and freedom of the family home in the country which constantly preserves the purity of the nation, and invigorates its intellectual powers. The battle of life, carried on in cities, gives a sharper edge to the Weapon of character, but its temper is, for the most part, fixed amid those communings with nature and the family, where individuality takes its most natural and strongest development.
