Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is better to build a small house than to overburden the budget with debt for a larger one," advised the noted architectural firm of Stillwell & Company. In their guide to economical homes, the Los Angeles-based builders declared, "A beautiful small house is just as expressive of character, aims, and aspirations as the large house. Mere size is a waste of money and human endeavor." A reaction to the excesses of the Victorian era, the modest bungalow provided a practical, affordable answer to the huge demands of California's housing market in the 1920s. This handsome reprint of a Stillwell & Company catalog is an ideal resource for 21st-century bungalow buyers and renovators as well as for builders seeking details of authentic materials and techniques. Its 50 examples of the classic California bungalow style include magnificently reproduced photographs, in addition to floor plans, estimated costs, and descriptions of exteriors and interiors.

Book Synopsis 100 Turn-of-the-Century Brick Bungalows with Floor Plans by : Rogers & Manson
Download or read book 100 Turn-of-the-Century Brick Bungalows with Floor Plans written by Rogers & Manson and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Brickbuilder, an early 20th-century trade publication, sponsored a major nationwide competition for bungalow designs, over 600 drawings were submitted by architects and draftsmen from around the country. This book, reprinted from a rare catalog published in 1912, contains the 100 winning entries from that event. The competition had two important criteria: the principal construction material was to be brick, and the complete cost — exclusive of the land — would be about $3,000. The winning designs came from all over the United States and reflected a diverse range of tastes and styles — from a single-floor, tile-roof hacienda to an elaborate thatched-roof English cottage, complete with decorative brickwork and a semicircular exterior wall. Each of the 100 superbly rendered plates shows the house in perspective and provides floor plans, some landscape planning, and an itemized list of construction costs. An essential reference book for restorers of period homes, historians, students, and enthusiasts of American domestic architecture, this fascinating book also offers browsers an entertaining glimpse of houses that still appear in countless areas across the country.
Download or read book Storybook Style written by Arrol Gellner and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storybook style, fairy tale, Disneyesque, Hansel and Gretel-these are all synonyms for what is surely the most delightful residential style of the twentieth century. With their romantic evocation of faraway lands and eras, storybook homes were created by architects and builders with a flair for theater, a love of fine craftsmanship, and above all a sense of humour-attributes that make them especially endearing to the jaded modern eye. The storybook style was born on the backlots of Hollywood in the 1920s, where brilliant set designers first learned to evoke the exotic architecture of medieval Europe and the Middle East. Movie-going Americans became fascinated with these settings, and architects and builders were quick to capitalise on this enthusiasm. The whimsical style soon spread from coast to coast, and the unforgettable results are portrayed here.

Download or read book Boom and Bust written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miner Smith (1877-1965) was a contractor who built about two dozen houses in the Belmont Heights area of Long Beach in the 1920s. Smith's houses are easily recognizable from the outside by the niches in the porch columns, where Smith placed concrete planters crafted to resemble tree trunks. On the inside, these houses are remarkable for the extraordinary quality of their craftsmanship, which included intricate fireplaces, ornate molding, clever built-ins such as pull-out tables and shoe-shine stands, and even some plein air art paintings. Smith was also one of the first builders to put electricity in his houses, and he advertised them in the local newspapers in numerical order as 'Bungalow Mansions.'Based on research in city and newspaper archives as well as interviews with descendants of Miner Smith and current owners of his houses, this book for the first time tells Smith's story from his childhood and youth in Ohio and New Jersey to his first venture in Los Angeles. His business there, like subsequent his career in Long Beach, began with a boom but ended in bust. Smith's later work in San Jose and Montebello went through the same cycle. Nevertheless, Miner Smith should be remembered for his unique houses and for the contribution he made to the architecture of Long Beach.
