Национальный архитектор Вудворда: 1,000 проектов загородных, пригородных и деревенских домов с 1869 года

One of the most influential American architectural pattern books of the nineteenth century, faithfully restored from the 1869 original. When Woodward's National Architect appeared in 1869, the post-Civil War building boom was reshaping every railroad town, suburban tract, and rural village from New England to the upper Mississippi. George E. Woodward, the New York architect, publisher, and Rutherford suburban developer, joined with the working architect Edward G. Thompson to produce the most ambitious builders' manual yet issued in the United States: 100 large folio plates carrying roughly 1,000 designs, plans, and construction details, engraved at working scale by Korff Bros. of New York.This volume preserves the entire 1869 work, including: Twenty complete dwelling designs: country residences, suburban cottages, ornamental brick villas, and the Stone Lodge at Rutherfurd Heights, New Jersey Twenty complete dwelling designs: country residences, suburban cottages, ornamental brick villas, and the Stone Lodge at Rutherfurd Heights, New Jersey Perspective views, front and side elevations, ground and chamber plans, and structural cross-sections for each design Perspective views, front and side elevations, ground and chamber plans, and structural cross-sections for each design Full carpenters', masons', and plumbers' specifications written for direct contractor use Full carpenters', masons', and plumbers' specifications written for direct contractor use An extensive catalogue of mid-Victorian carpentry details: framing of French (mansard) roofs, dormer and bay windows, balconies, verandas, stairs and balusters, gable finishes, cresting, brackets, plaster ceilings, and ornamental hard-wood mantels An extensive catalogue of mid-Victorian carpentry details: framing of French (mansard) roofs, dormer and bay windows, balconies, verandas, stairs and balusters, gable finishes, cresting, brackets, plaster ceilings, and ornamental hard-wood mantels The original January 1869 schedule of New York materials and labor prices, a primary economic document of the post-war building trades The original January 1869 schedule of New York materials and labor prices, a primary economic document of the post-war building trades The book documents the working synthesis of Italianate, French Second Empire, Carpenter Gothic, and the emerging Stick Style that produced the recognizable Victorian house still standing in older American neighborhoods. The mansard roof, only recently introduced from Napoleon III's Paris, receives particular emphasis, with technical plates that taught a generation of American carpenters how to frame the new form. Woodward's National Architect went through approximately ninety-five editions between 1869 and 1877, an extraordinary record reflecting its acceptance by the working trades.
