Our homes and their adornments; or, How to build, finish, furnish and adorn a home ... the whole being designed to make happy homes for happy people
A household advice and domestic architecture manual by Almon C. Varney, published in Detroit in 1882 for middle-class American families building and furnishing their own houses. Wood-engraved plates show cottages and villas with porches, gables and dormers set in shaded grounds, plus isolated details like a bracketed bay window, useful for period house elevations and ornament motifs.
