Syllabus Of Illustrated Lecture On Farm Architecture Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Syllabus of Illustrated Lecture on Farm Architecture Within the restriction imposed by money available for building, there is little opportunity for ornament and enrich ment. Our houses must depend for their beauty upon graceful proportions, well-grouped windows, good color, and textures. N 0 building, unless well proportioned, can be saved by orna mentation. Jig - saw ornament, mill-made brackets, cornices, moldings and railings, tower and cupola tacked to the house corner, where they mean nothing decoratively and serve no useful purpose, should be avoided.
