About This Book
The text offers practical guidance for designing and arranging family houses with attention to convenience, economy, and aesthetic surroundings. It connects floor plans to housekeeping needs and proceeds on a room-by-room tour covering porches, halls, reception rooms, kitchens, pantries, cellars, laundries, stairways, bedrooms, plumbing, heating, and interior decoration. A large illustrated section presents fifty house plans with descriptions and cost notes, followed by plain-language specifications, contracting and business advice, and methods for financing construction so owners can plan, build, and pay for practical, labor-saving homes.
