Description
Excerpt: "In the modernised and revised edition of "House-Plans for Everybody," but little attempt has been made to change the text or floor plans, as these are standard features requiring no revision.
In the matter of outward dress, however, nearly all the elevations have been redrawn, with special regard to modern ideas and tastes, and in this respect it is specially new and commendable.
The author has been guided in this work by many years' experience, in planning and superintending the erection of country buildings, and has selected, from an extensive aggregation of original designs in his possession, such examples as seemed best to serve for purposes of simplicity, comfort, and economy.
All the matters here presented are purely practical-well calculated to assist such as are contemplating the erection of either a village or country house.
The plans embrace almost every variety of arrangement and style-each one is accompanied with a detailed description of its conveniences and construction-and its cost is shown by careful estimates, made to correspond with a uniform standard of prices, at present rates.
To builders, this work will be valuable as a handbook of reference, to aid them when applied to for suggestions, either in the projection of new dwellings, or in the alteration of old ones, saving much time, study and calculations.
The estimates of cost have been found correct as to totals, in the neighbourhood of New York, and in many other localities builders have offered to duplicate the structures for the figures given."
