The dream of owning a private home became a reality for many Americans in the prosperous years immediately following World War I. But not all prospective homeowners could easily afford the services of an architect, so the nonprofit Architects Small House Service Bureau was organized in the 1920s to provide plans and other technical documents. This book of the Services housing plans is a complete republication of a rare edition, containing floor plans, construction materials, and drawings or photographs for a wide variety of small homes.Models range from charming fiveroom English cottages of brick and stucco to attractive twostory shingled Colonials with six rooms, fireplace, French doors, and a generous attic. Clearly written descriptions of interiors and exteriors complement detailed plans for each of 254 homes. Remarkable for their spacious and welllit rooms, ample closets, large basements, and eatin kitchens, many of these models also offer sun rooms, fireplaces, open porches, and secondstory sleeping porches. Richly illustrated with over 800 blackandwhite line drawings and photographs, this attractive, modestly priced edition will appeal not only to builders and restorers of older houses, but also to professional architects, students, and anyone interested in distinctively American homes of the early twentieth century.

I picked up this book for my architecture class, and it’s just fantastic. The illustrations are vivid and the floor plans are detailed, which really helps in visualizing the small houses of the twenties. A great resource for anyone interested in historical architecture!

Good Ideas but Lacking Variety
While the illustrations are nice and the small house concept is interesting, I was hoping for a bit more variety in the designs. Some styles feel redundant. Still, it's a decent book for reference!
