Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Fine examples of a type of photorealistic drawing that you don't see anymore, which are reason enough to buy the book. The majority of homes are Tudor or Old English, like the ones on the cover, with just a few Colonials and Bungalows mixed in. The writing is quaint, with bedrooms called chambers, and mentions of breakfast nooks, servant's quarters, and telephone cabinets.

An annual publication intended as a reference work for building contractors, building supply dealers, architects, and homeowners, the 1929 Home Builders Catalog offered a beautifully illustrated look at a variety of homes. In addition to pictures of actual homes and detailed floor plans, the catalog specifies construction materials and anticipated costs. These small houses were designed for budgets from $3,500 to $15,000; aimed, as the publisher states, "not for millionaires, but for the multitude--for that great mass of people who are the lifeblood of the nation." Painstakingly reproduced from a rare edition, this volume offers old-house restorers, preservationists, and lovers of 1920s architecture an authentic view of American homes of the era. New selection of plates from the fourth edition of the 1929 Home Builders Catalog, originally published by National Trade Journals, Inc., Chicago, 1929.
