Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inexpensive Rural Cottages and Buildings for Small Holdings Beginning with the first of these classes as being that of men with the least requirements and the smallest means, we may assume that the family of a man of this class is on the average composed of husband and wife with from two to six children, and we have then the probable approximate number requiring accommodation, and in order to ascertain what the latter should be it is. Necessary to inquire into the habits and mode of living of the members of such a family. First of all the man will spend a good deal of his time outside the cottage during at least six days in the week; the children h'om five to thirteen years of age - at which latter age they will probably leave home - will be at school or on the road during the greater portion of five days in the week; whilst the wife and babies will be practically in or about the house entirely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Village and Farm Cottages: The Requirements of American Village Homes Considered and Suggested; With Designs for Such Houses of Moderate Cost Convenience, facility in doing the family work, and pleasantness of internal aspect and arrangements, were our first aim. In the building and furnishing of a house, surely, if any where, charity should begin at home. Over all other considerations, the pleasure and advantage of its future occupants claim undeniable precedence. But true charity does not stop where it begins. In the minor, as well as greater moralities, it respects the rights of others, and gladly ministers not only to their wants, but to their tastes. To improve the form, decora tion, and finish of the exterior, and the general character of its surroundings - though a secondary consideration is by no means an unimportant one. And, hence, we have given to this point very careful attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Cottages, Small Garages and Farm Buildings Cottage construction involves much consideration on account of the limitations of expenditure, which essentially form one of the most important factors in the design and execution of this class of work, and for this reason the subject is an interesting one. At the same time the question of satisfactory and economical cottage building is one of national interest, owing tothe urgent need of healthy and convenient dwellings for all classes of workers who cannot afford to pay anything but the lowest of rentals and with the constant increase in the price of materials and labour the problem becomes more and more difficult with the progress of time. The use of concrete for all the main portions of the structure has increased during the last few years and this material can claim many advantages over other materials as regards initial cost, durability and ease of execution which render it worthy of study as a possible solution to the problem. There are many points to be considered 'in cottage work and it is necessary to develop a type of building which will combine sound work with economy. This can, only be accomplished by a skilful application of cheap and efficient construction to a well-planned simple and convenient design.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Country Houses: Their Repair and Enlargement; Forty Examples Chosen From Five Centuries The welcome given to Small Country Houses: Their Repair and Enlargement. ix. Preface. The welcome given to Small Country Houses of To-day would seem, if I may believe my correspondents, to have been due in no small measure to the seven chapters (out of forty-eight) which described old houses repaired and enlarged. This suggested that a second and uniform volume, dealing wholly with the treatment of old houses, whether cottage or farm house or small manor house, would be useful to the increasing number of people who like the atmosphere of age in their homes. A real responsibility rests on those who under take the alteration of an old fabric, for our buildings are an essential part of our national history. This is no less true of the cottage than of the palace. Our building traditions are as much, indeed more, a heritage from forgotten craftsmen, as from William of Wykeham, Master Yevele at Westminster and John of Gloucester, who was Kings Mason at Windsor. Of such nameless folk we may use Solomon's words, with but a single change: . a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom built the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. To those who appreciate all the skill and subtlety of touch which were the outcome of the wisdom of old builders, this record of the treatment of their handiwork is dedicated. I have to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. Basil Oliver, who has lent me the photographs for Figs. I, V, VI, and the plan in Fig.47;of Mr. Batsford, for his permission to reproduce that plan from Mr. Oliver's Old Houses and Village Buildings in East Anglia; and of Mr. H. Avray Tipping, for allowing me to incorporate the substance of two articles by him in Chapters VIII and XXVI.

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.

Download or read book Radford s Practical Barn Plans written by William A. Radford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radford's Practical Barn Plans: Being a Complete Collection of Practical, Economical and Common-Sense Plans of Barns, Out Buildings and Stock Sheds The farm building department is given not only in the interest of the farmer, but because every one is more or less dependent upon the soil and is consequently directly or indirectly interested in the prosperity of the farmer. There comes a time when every business man and most other men want to build either a house, or barn, or both. It is the province of this book to offer suggestions. Plans are necessary to avoid mistakes. It is just as easy to secure good plans as to build after the ideas prevailing in the neighborhood, probably advanced by some carpenter who has had little or no experience outside of his own town. Barns as well as houses are built or should be built for a specific purpose and there are fundamental principles which are vital if the best results are to be obtained. It is not always necessary or desirable to build expensively. It often happens that an inexpensive or even a cheap structure will answer the purpose just as well, but this book does not countenance the building of unsightly houses or out buildings. There are essentials to be built into farm buildings that cannot be seen after they are finished, but these essentials must be there or the buildings will not be right. Drainage, foundation, ventilation and economy are four requisites that have received special attention in compiling the material for this work and they are four of the worst neglected principles when ordinary farm buildings are planned. Drainage and foundation are easily treated to fit each case, but ventilation is less tangible, although it is equally important, while the study of economy has no beginning and no legitimate ending, for it embraces not only the construction of the building, but the use of it ever after. Even a small farm building is worth very close attention in the planning, location and building because of its appearance and the labor it entails in its connection with general farm economy. In the arrangement of the book the first point made clear to the reader is the need for the structure. Naturally what the building is wanted for should be first made plain. Then the construction is followed to completion when the building takes its place in the farm economy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Rural Architecture Being a Complete Description of Farm Houses, Cottages, and Out Buildings by Lewis Falley Allen INTRODUCTORY. The lover of country life who looks upon rural objects in the true spirit, and, for the first time surveys the cultivated portions of the United States, will be struck with the incongruous appearance and style of our farm houses and their contiguous buildings; and, although, on examination, he will find many, that in their interior accommodation, and perhaps relative arrangement to each other, are tolerably suited to the business and convenience of the husbandman, still, the feeling will prevail that there is an absence of method, congruity, and correct taste in the architectural structure of his buildings generally, by the American farmer. We may, in truth, be said to have no architecture at all, as exhibited in our agricultural districts, so far as any correct system, or plan is concerned, as the better taste in building, which a few years past has introduced among us, has been chiefly confined to our cities and towns of rapid growth. Even in the comparatively few buildings in the modern style to be seen in our farming districts, from the various requirements of those buildings being partially unknown to the architect and builder, who had their planning-and upon whom, owing to their own inexperience in such matters, their employers have relied-a majority of such dwellings have turned out, if not absolute failures, certainly not what the necessities of the farmer has demanded. Consequently, save in the mere item of outward appearance-and that, not always-the farmer and cottager have gained nothing, owing to the absurdity in style or arrangement, and want of fitness to circumstances adopted for the occasion. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
