Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Architecture for the Home Builder The purpose of the author in offering this resumé of historic architecture to the public, is not so much to present a compendium of facts and theories, as to awaken an interest in these splendid monuments of the past for their intrinsic beauty and value. It is not intended here to expound the principles of vaults, thrusts and pressure, nor the use of the flying buttress. All this is in the text books and discussed by standard authorities. Nor is a minute history of each architectural period, with the part played by this or that nation in its development, attempted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes of New England Tm: study of Old houses grows in interest with each additional discovery of good material, such as can be found in the old New England towns and cities, more especially those along the seacoast. The preservation Of these Old houses has done much to give us correct ideas' of the interiors, though many of these, with the change of owners, have been stripped of their colonial furnishings. Most of the houses that are shown in this book are private homes which have been opened by the owners to allow pictured representations of correct ancestral furnishing. Houses such as these possess the great est charm - ancestral homes that have descended from generation to generation in the same family since their founding. It has been a great pleasure to be allowed to visit these old mansions, which show wonderful staircases, richly carved mantels, and colonial windows, each one of which is an architectural gem. Through pictured homes like these one is given a deeper interest in the early life of our country and realizes more than ever before what the colonial period stood for in home building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reclaiming the Old House: Its Modern Problems and Their Solution as Governed by the Methods of Its Builders Now let us take up the subject at the beginning, in a mat ter-of-fact way, and proceed through the natural channels to a definite conclusion: First catch your fish. One knows in a general way from the history just about what he may expect to find in various parts of the country. Naturally one does not look for relics of 1650 in a country that was a howling wilder ness at that time; this is a thing to be remembered. We are, unfortunately, slaves to a certain mistaken notion that every thing that may be called old dates from The Landing of the Pilgrims and Sixteen Twenty. Of all our helpless pioneers, they have been saddled with most of the impossibles. There is enough of household furniture and utensils purported to have come over in the M ayflower, to have sunk several modern navies; while they who have pinned their ancestry to this little band would make it imperative to have adopted all the foundlings in England in bearing out such facts. Having been rationalized in the knowledge of conditions, one may cease to expect impossi bilities and accept things as they are. Really they are sufiicient in themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chat With the Ladies About House Building Until comparatively recent years one ex cuse for building of wood was that it cost so much less than any other material, and. In fact, even moderately fireproof dwellings were beyond the reach of any but the wealthy. It is no longer so. There is re ally no object for building of wood to - day. Most of us keep 0n_d0ing it simply and solely because we have gotten into the habit of it, and that there are large sections of country where we have not yet been pro hibited from using it. Lumber is growing scarcer every day, it has gone far above 100 per cent over its cost twenty years ago, while brick, and tile, and cement, and other incombustible and indestructible materials are cheaper by far than they were at that same period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honest House: Presenting Examples of the Usual Problems Which Face the Home-Builder, Together With an Exposition of the Simple Architectural Principles Which Underlie Them It is difficult indeed for us to create a house which is expressive of the owner, and at the same time consistent in all of its parts, true to a chosen style or character, and containing throughout the elements of good design, for the Sim ple reason that we are still young as a people, our social traditions are not so well established as to indicate clearly what is to be our future, and in consequence, what will be the character of the homes which will result. In our larger houses we are very likely to draw our inspiration from widely separate and distant fields, and we bring into them the accumulated art of the centuries past, and of the whole world. So it is no wonder that in these hustling times, when our days are filled with a multitude of interests, that we sometimes feel that we are strangers in our own homes. Then too, a spirit of pride and emulation is often wrought into the building of our larger houses, and often this motive, working unconsciously in the minds of both the owner and the architect, acts as a Chinese Wall, separating us from our ideals and the things which we actually accomplish.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building and Furnishing a Home The first thing that an architect tells you is that the last thing to think about when you go to plan a house is how the outside will look. For a good many years Dorothy Dix and other philosophers have been telling us much the same thing in regard to the selection Of husbands. But in spite Of this good advice as to the comparative unimportance of the facade, for a good many years to come women are going to go right on falling in, love with a man because of the way his hair and eye-lashes grow and buying houses because of their roof-lines, window-shutters, and cornice trim. In view of this natural fact Of feminine logic, we will begin our study of houses with a survey of architectural style. Instead of be ginning at the beginning in the best scholastic fashions, we will select several of the most popular styles and inquire into the causes for their being as they are. If we began our study with the earliest American houses we would encounter some very primitive structures - perhaps nothing more than windbreaks made by sticking branches into the ground. The first Americans, arriving here from Asia by way of the Behring Straits perhaps as long as years ago, did not bring much of an architectural heritage with them. Except for their babies and spears and dogs they brought very little indeed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
