ON THE BACK COVER
Everyone who delights in houses with stylistic character and charm will appreciate THE OLD HOUSE BOOK OF COTTAGES AND BUNGALOWS. Within its pages are practical plans for more than one hundred small and picturesque single-family dwellings. Rose-covered workingmen's cottages from the 1840s and '50s, gingerbread seashore cottages stylish in the Victorian 1880s, compact English country cottages of the turn of the century, clapboard Colonial Revival and stucco Mission bungalows of the 1920s-all these styles and many more are illustrated and explained in original drawings and a knowledgeable text.
Usually of four or five rooms, these are houses with plans that can be easily adapted for use today. Designed to be inexpensive in their day, the houses remain excellent sources of inspiration for today's imaginative homeowner.
