Hobbs's architecture: containing designs and ground plans for villas, cottages and other edifices, both suburban and rural, adapted to the United States. With rules for criticism, and introduction
A pattern book of house designs issued by the Philadelphia firm Isaac H. Hobbs & Son in 1876, sold to builders and prospective homeowners choosing suburban and rural villas. Wood engravings pair a three-quarter perspective of each house — mansard roofs, towers, bracketed porches, shaded lawns — with lettered floor plans below, giving usable elevations, plan diagrams and period architectural ornament.
