""Modern Homes: The Perspective Views And Building Plans For Sixteen Sensible Low Cost Houses"" is a book published in 1880 by the National Architects Union. The book presents a collection of 16 house designs that were intended to be affordable and practical for the average American family. Each design is accompanied by detailed perspective views and building plans, making it easy for readers to visualize and construct their own homes. The book was aimed at a growing middle-class audience who were seeking to build their own homes but lacked the resources to hire an architect. The designs featured in the book are varied, ranging from small cottages to larger, more elaborate houses. The book also includes practical advice on building materials, construction techniques, and interior design. Overall, ""Modern Homes"" is a fascinating glimpse into the architectural trends and social attitudes of the late 19th century, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American housing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
