A 1915 survey of recently built American country houses and their grounds, compiled by Samuel Howe for the Architectural Book Publishing Company in New York and aimed at architects, builders and wealthy clients. Halftone photographs show colonial-revival and shingled facades, porticoes, pergolas, terraces and garden walls under heavy foliage, useful for period house silhouettes, window rhythms and soft tonal backgrounds.
