Artistic dwellings : giving views, floor plans and estimates of cost of many house and cottage designs, costing from $600 up, designed and selected with especial reference to economy in building and convenience of arrangement
A mail-order house-plan catalogue issued by Grand Rapids architect Frank P. Allen in 1893, offering views, floor plans and cost estimates for dwellings from $600 up to builders and families in the American Midwest. Each plate pairs a fine-lined perspective of a gabled, shingled Queen Anne house with small labelled first- and second-floor plans, giving designers stipple-shaded facades, porch and dormer details, and diagrammatic room layouts with dimensions.
