A remarkable presentation of the "finished ideas of a practicing architect of high rank in his profession;" this early-twentieth-century showcase of homes features a wide range of designs from a Midwest master. Reproduced from a rare edition; the work features a splendid array of dwellings; from cottages and bungalows to sprawling mansions. Each house is meticulously illustrated and accompanied by complete floor plans."A poorly planned house is usually more expensive than a modern practical plan;" according to the author; architect Herbert C. Chivers. Combining "modern methods" with attractive but modestly priced plans; Chivers promoted his business with sketches of stylish homes; accompanied by brief captions stating dimensions; prices; and occasional suggestions for modifications. This reprint of his complete guide to domestic architecture of the early 1900s constitutes a valuable resource for home hobbyists; architecture students and professionals; as well as antique collectors.
