This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examples of American Domestic Architecture This question, then, of the necessity for reform in American Architecture, we propose to discuss; accompanying the discussion with illustrations showing work actually built in various localities. Presenting thus our theories as to what is undesirable and what desirable in Architecture, we also present a number of plates illustrating our own work. To furnish such an opportunity for judging the discrepancy between preaching and practice is per haps rash; but this judgment, together with the judgment as to the merits of the discussion, we leave with that great arbiter, the American public. Excepting a portion of the first five plates, the illustrations herein presented are reproduced from drawings by ourselves. As to the drawings showing our own designs, many of these were made to satisfy our clients, in the ordinary routine of office practice; but the larger number have been prepared especially for this book. Nearly all the work shown has been actually executed. 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 Radford American Homes: 100 House Plans This book contains the perspective view and floor plans of 100 low and medium priced houses, and is a continuation of the work which was begun in The Radford Ideal Homes and which met with such phenomenal success all over the world. In this work, even greater care has been exercised in the selection of original, practical and attractive house designs, such as seventy-five to ninety percent, of the people to-day wish to build. In the drawing of these plans special effort has been made to provide for the most economical constructions, thereby giving the home builder and the contractor the benefit of the saving of many dollars; for in no case have we put any useless expense upon the building, simply to carry out some pet idea. Every plan illustrated will show by the complete working plans and specifications that we give you designs that will work out to the best advantage and will give you the most for your money; besides, every bit of space has been utilized to the best advantage.

Download or read book American Renaissance written by Joy Wheeler Dow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Renaissance: A Review of Domestic Architecture; Illustrated by Ninety-Six Half-Tone Plates This review of American Renaissance originally appeared as a series of papers in the "Architects and Builders' Magazine" and the interest shown in them as they were brought out and the later inquiry for these numbers of the Magazine have led the publisher to suggest the propriety of putting them in more permanent shape. With this in view the author has carefully collated the articles, added some new illustrations, and in some cases the plates have been enlarged where the subjects seemed worthy of fuller representation than was possible in the limited space allowed in the Magazine. The book is intended to be an impartial outline history of American domestic architecture from Colonial times to the present day, and the salutary influence upon it of whatever has been good in past building epochs. How well the subject has been presented, it remains for the readers of the following pages to judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Country Houses: Modern American Examples Neither the expectation nor the regret was justified. It would indeed have been a fine thing had we made an art lovely and without precedent; but when the critics decry our originality compared to that Of Gothic and Greek builders, they forget that the buildings they have in mind were not spontaneous but the culmination Of centuries Of study, experiment, and earnest effort. Had we been the aboriginal Americans, without knowledge Of the great past and of different blood from its makers, we would have developed, as the Indians did, an architecture novel and without reminiscence Of European work. But we were transplanted Europeans Of the blood Of the Old builders, with memory Of their work, all the more compelling be cause Of the lack Of daily familiarity therewith.
