Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examples of American Domestic Architecture This question, then, of the necessity for reform in American Architecture, we propose to discuss; accompanying the discussion with illustrations showing work actually built in various localities. Presenting thus our theories as to what is undesirable and what desirable in Architecture, we also present a number of plates illustrating our own work. To furnish such an opportunity for judging the discrepancy between preaching and practice is per haps rash; but this judgment, together with the judgment as to the merits of the discussion, we leave with that great arbiter, the American public. Excepting a portion of the first five plates, the illustrations herein presented are reproduced from drawings by ourselves. As to the drawings showing our own designs, many of these were made to satisfy our clients, in the ordinary routine of office practice; but the larger number have been prepared especially for this book. Nearly all the work shown has been actually executed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
