The model architect : a series of original designs for cottages, villas, suburban residences, etc., accompanied by explanations, specifications, estimates, and elaborate details : prepared expressly for the use of projectors and artisans throughout the United States
A two-volume American pattern book of house designs by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan, published in 1852 for builders, carpenters, and clients planning cottages, villas, and country residences. Lithographed plates pair engraved elevations and small landscape vignettes with hatched floor plans, labeled rooms, scale bars, and sheets of joinery details—door panels, brackets, finials, and urns usable as line ornament.
