Between 1906 and 1914, New York architect Frank M. Snyder published Building Details, a serial produced in twelve parts over eight years. Each issue consisted of ten beautifully executed sixteen by twentyoneinch drawings showing details of houses, civic buildings, banks, churches, clubs, and other structures designed by some of the periods leading architects, including McKim, Mead & White, John Russell Pope, Grosvenor Atterbury, and Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson. Redrawing from the architects working drawings, Snyder paid careful attention to scale, materials, and dimensions, and he incorporated full explanatory notes as well as small photographs of the projects within each plate. Intended as a design tool for architects, Building Details gives numerous construction and design suggestions that Snyder urged could be readily adapted to any Work having similar requirements, using different materials, sizes and proportions than those shown, either for more or less expensive work. In addition to showing the problem worked out, the drawings also would save much valuable time in preparing Drawings of similar work and call attention to many things often overlooked in the preparation of Working Drawings and Specifications.Not only is Building Details important in showing how architects learned and drew from the designs of the great masters; it is a rare and beautiful documentation of how these important earlytwentiethcentury architects realized their designs. Snyders 120 plates clarify details that continue to confront architects today and allow us to see thoroughly how the buildings we admire were put together. Building Details is a trove of knowledge that goes beyond conventional printed sources and continues to be an important resource for architects working today.Also included is a DVDROM that contains printable TIFF files of all the plates in the original edition of Building Details, at their original size of sixteen by twentyone inches. 120 illustrations
