Of course; there is the sales pitch and info about the company; but we modern folks are really here for the houses; I expect. This company sold rather plain; basic houses. The emphasis seems to be on value for the dollar for modest budgets. The rooms are smaller than rooms in other plan books Ive seen from this era. Even one house that was described as having big rooms featured a living room that was 12 feet by 13; and bedrooms that were only 9 freet wide. There is a nice variety of styles here; with lots of bungalows; American four squares; and cottages. Size ranges from six bedroom farmhouses down to a one room cottage. The houses get smaller and cheaper as you get to the back of the book. At the back there are some that dont even have indoor plumbing. Even in the houses with many bedrooms; the rooms are small. Considering the larger families they had in those days; I really wonder how they managed with such small rooms--not to mention the closets. If you are interested in historic houses of all types; this book will be valuable to you. If you wish to see more elaborate houses for people with big budgets; this book is not for you.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
