The country house; a practical manual of the planning and construction of the American country home and its surroundings
Charles Edward Hooper's 1905 manual from Doubleday, Page, written for American clients and builders planning suburban and country houses, gardens and grounds. Halftone photographs show shingled, clapboard and columned houses among trees, many set in ruled frames with scrollwork corners, alongside plans and construction details useful for period house silhouettes, porch and dormer shapes, and decorative border stock.
