A Great Reference for Early 20th Century Architecture
30 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a replica of ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS FOR EVERY TYPE OF BUILDING: A PRACTICAL DRAFTING ROOM GUIDE FOR CONTRACTORS, BUILDERS, LUMBER DEALERS, MILLMEN, DRAFTSMEN, AND ARCHITECTS published in 1921. The original title is an appropriate one, as it was not intended for the general public looking for house plans or ideas for details but more for the building professional. Today, however, it provides a great reference resource for those interested in restoring or improving an early twentieth century building. For houses, there are some complete working drawing sets in addition to various details for stairs, fireplaces, bookcases, and even fences, among many others. Also included are drawings for an Ice House, a Modern Photo Play House (movie theater), and various Barns. It is highly recommended for those who enjoy technical information.

Very interesting floor plans
15 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I live in an old house and have used this book many times during remodeling. It has been a great reference for how the layout of my house may have changed over the years.
If I were ever going to build a new home, I would use one of these classic floor plans as a guide and make adjustments to make it either larger or more modern. Love the authenticity of this book.
