Villas and cottages
A pattern book of house designs by Calvert Vaux, landscape architect and Olmsted's partner, issued by Harper & Brothers in New York in 1874 for American clients and builders choosing a country or suburban home. Wood engravings pair small perspective views and elevations of gabled, bracketed villas with labelled floor, basement, attic and roof plans, giving designers line-drawn building silhouettes, hatched plan geometry, and captioned room diagrams with dimensions.
