Dalla quarta di copertina

Written at the turn of the century by architect S. B. Reed, Village and Country Residences reflects the attention to detail and pride in construction of an era when homes were built to last. Here are dozens of designs selected by the author for their practicality, comfort, and economy. They embrace almost every variety of arrangement and style - from the simplest one-bedroom cottage on a country lane to the most elegant multileveled Victorian in town. Each design is accompanied by several detailed floor plans plus useful instruction on building - including measurements, materials, and estimated cost. The browser will be charmed and amused to see that it cost only $1,100 to build a three-story home in 1878. Today, old-fashioned homes in livable repair are difficult to come by and often sell at a premium. Village and Country Residences provides inspiration and time-honored council on building the beautiful, reliable home of your dreams in the very same style as the stately original.
