Riassunto

Initially developed as a teaching tool for designers in the 1930s, this book is for anyone who wants to duplicate the classic rustic structures that are commonly found in our state and national parks. Containing over 1,200 photographs and detailed line drawings from which one can design and build directly, Patterns from the Golden Age of Rustic Design provides plans for the construction of cabins, lodges, hotels, fireplaces, boat houses, trailside seats and shelters, furniture, fixtures, and more. Furthermore, the designs are not limited to structures made of logs and mortar, but extend to the use of stone in New England and the proliferation of the pueblo and mission styles in the Southwest. Albert H. Good's principal goal was to present structures that "appear to belong and be a part of their settings." In so doing, the author has created a valuable reference for preservationists, historians, designers, and homeowners.
