Preface
Reading edition
The aim of this little book is simply to offer a few hints and suggestions to those about to build, or those interested in building, and to present a series of designs of low-cost cottages.
These designs were made, by request, by different New York architects who have turned their attention to the subject. In view of the rapid growth of “Art Ideas,” and the great improvement in taste that has taken place during the last few years, it is believed that there is a demand for dwellings reasonable in cost yet artistic and home-like.
