New homes under old roofs
A 1916 New York guide by Joseph Stowe Seabury, published by F. A. Stokes, on remodeling colonial and early American houses for modern domestic use, aimed at homeowners and architects. Halftone photographs show clapboard and brick facades from across lawns and drives, framed by heavy trees, with shuttered windows, porches, picket fences, and chimneys useful as period house silhouettes and textures.
