Economic farmhouses and their architectural problems
A 1914 University of Illinois architecture thesis by William Alonzo Etherton on the design and cost of economical farmhouses, written for students, builders, and farm owners. Sepia photographs record Midwestern and Eastern wood-frame houses with porches, shutters, picket fences, barns, and shade trees, shot flat-on in wide format; useful for vernacular building silhouettes, fence and porch detail, and toned rural backdrops.
