INTRODUCTION.

MANY architectural works have been published in our country, which treat more
or less of street architecture, country houses, villas, and domestic architecture
generally, in which are given plans, elevations, and perspective views of buildings
of all kinds. Many of these works are highly meritorious, and it would be well for
the taste of the people, if they were more generally circulated and studied.

' The illustrations in the works referred to, though they portray many beautiful
buildings and well arranged plans, are almost invariably drawn to so small a scale
as to render comprehending their details, impossible to any one except experienced
architects. .

To arrange the rooms and appurtenances of a building in accordance with a
given diagram is not a difficult task, even though the scale of the diagram be very
small ; but“ to erect a building, and to make all the details of its exterior and interior
finish beautiful, and to have each detail such that it will aid in forming a harmonious
whole, requires for a guide something more elaborated than an illustration in
perspective, such as can be found in nearly all of the architectural works published
in this country.

This work differs in its design from any, heretofore issued; it contains designs
for all the various features which enter into the composition of buildings, both for
the city and for the country, and these features are again given in detail, and drawn
to so large a scale that any one familiar with the construction of work cannot fail
to comprehend their forms and their construction. In addition to these, there are
given a variety of elevations of fronts of buildings in which the details are in corpor-
ated, thereby showing their effect when combined, forming a whole.

This work treats of none of the orders or styles of architecture ; information in
regard to them can be derived from other sources; from standard works and from

 

ii ' INTRODUCTION.

architects whose reputation is a suflicient guarantee of their competency, and any
one who desires to incorporate the features of any particular: style in a building they
propose to erect, should procure complete designs and drawings from an architect
of known ability.

No plans of houses are given in this work, for the “reason, that the wants of
persons in regard to the arrangements of their buildings are as different as are their
characters; and to present plans within the small compass of a book that would
suit even a respectable minority of those who build every year would be'an impossi-
bility. ' .

The elevations given are such as may be applied to the ordinary outlines of
buildings, such as are frequently adopted in this country. The designs and details
of the various features given are so extensive and so varied in their character, that
they can be applied with success to any structures except public buildings. Judg-
ment must be ,used ‘in the selection, and to guide that, it will be proper to study
well the elevations given, in which the effect of the details can be seen and appre-
ciated.

This work will be found particularly valuable in situations where it is not con-
venient to secure the services of an architect; in such localities owners and their
builders are usually thrown upon their own resources of knowledge, as to what is
good and in proper taste to introduce into the design of the building they propose
to erect ; and if they possess a work in which every needed architectural feature,
both those of utility and those of ornament, is given, necessary to the complete
construction of the building, it will not be a difficult task to make the structure a
good-proportioned and inviting one.

Without such a work, the only alternative is either togfingage an architect or
to follow in the footsteps of some predecessor, copy his building as far as is practi-
cable, and so add one more to the many generations of nondescripts and “scenery
disturbers,” which mar our beautiful country everywhere, in localities distant from
our chief cities. That the work will be deemed valuable, when examined, and
found of great service, when used, is the belief of the authors; and that it may do

much to correct evils at present existing in building operations, and elevate and aid
the taste of. those who build, is their earnest wish.

DESIGN FOR A FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR FOR A DWELLING-HOUSE:

Fig. 1. Shows an elevation of the doors and the finish connected .with them.
The side pilasters are moulded, and over them are carved and fluted trusses, sup-
porting a moulded pediment cap. The headlight is arched, and the spandrils are
panelled, and in the centre of the arch is a raised key.

The outside jambs of the doors are fluted, and have caps and vases; to these
jambs the outer pair of doors are hung; these doors when opened, stand at right
angles to the front of the building and form the sides of the vestibule. The ceiling
of the vestibule is arched and paneled the same as the doors. The inner pair of
doors are made like the outer ones, and have an arched headlight and moulded
jambs and finish. The exterior details of this design should be executed in stone,
but they may be of wood. A, is a plan of the doors and vestibule. B, an elevation
of the exterior finish. 0, a section through the vestibule, showing the arched and
panelled ceiling. .

Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ,‘ show sections of front door stiles, panels and mouldings.
Figs. 2, 3, and 4, are made of two thicknesses of plank; the others are of one
thickness, and have the outside moulding planted on the face of the doors, and
this moulding should extend around both upper and lower panels, forming them
into one.

The details are drawn to a scale of % of an inch to the foot.

IMPROVED FIREPROOF AND WATERPROOF

 

FELT, EEMENT AND GHAVEL RflflFlNl}

Is adapted to All Classes of Buildings where it is practicable to make flat roofs, or roofs having a pitch not
exceeding 4 inches to the foot.

Buildings covered with Warren’s Roofing are insured by all the best Insurance Companies at the same rate
of Premium as if covered with slate, tin, zinc, copper, or iron.

The test of over TEN YEJRS’ USE in New York State has proven it to be the MOST ECONOMICAL

AND SATISFACTORY of any Roofing in use.

Being a non conductor of heat, it is Cooler in Summer and Warmer in Winter than roofs of
Metal, Slate or Shingles. It imparts neither taste, color nor smell to the cistern water.
