Building a nation and where to build ideal American homes
A real-estate promotional volume issued in New York in 1891 by Jeremiah Johnson, advertising suburban lots and house designs to prospective American home buyers. Halftone photographs show detached frame houses with porches, gables and turrets on raw graded lots, flanked by picket fences, dirt roads, saplings and small figures, useful for period domestic architecture, streetscape and vernacular building detail.
