Sinopsis

Excerpt from Dwelling for Village and Country: With General Descriptions and Detailed Estimates

His volume is presented in response to frequent requests for a m new collection of my house plans. It seems that such a work is expected of me to follow the two preceding volumes House Plans, published in 1878, and Cottage Houses, published in 1883. Thirty-three sets of plans have been selected from the more recent productions of my professional service, for this work. They are modern in style and arrangement, and embrace a wide range as to cost. To condense the matter within suitable limits, and yet in olude a desirable number and variety of examples, only principal floors and elevations are given. Cellar and attic plans are omitted, as their outlines usually correspond with the floor plans. A general description, and suggestions as to construction accompany each plan. Estimates of the cost of each house are given. In most cases the estimates are in detail at prices prevailing at the present time in this vicinity. From these itemized estimates calculations may be readily made to suit varying circumstances of location and markets. Distinctive names are given to the plans (for more convenient ref er ence), in most cases corresponding with those of the localities Where the buildings are erected.
