An annual publication intended as a reference work for building contractors, building supply dealers, architects, and homeowners, the 1929 Home Builders Catalog offered a beautifully illustrated look at a variety of homes. In addition to pictures of actual homes and detailed floor plans, the catalog specifies construction materials and anticipated costs. These small houses were designedfor budgets from $3,500 to $15,000; aimed, as the publisher states, not for millionaires, but for the multitude -- for that great mass of people who are the lifeblood of the nation. Painstakingly reproduced from a rare edition, this volume offers old-house restorers, preservationists, and lovers of 1920s architecture an authentic view of American homes of the era.
