Excerpt from Beautiful Houses: A Study in House-Building
Art, as applied to homes, furniture, the utensils of life, - in a word, the democratic art, - joins hands with the exclusive art of the cased.
For the sake of clearness and system, this book is distinctly divided into sections. The first, Hoiese-buildiuoand Art, shows that all building may be artistic, that there is no good reason for ugliness, that it costs no more to make an artistic detail than to make an ugly one. There need be no more material and labor in one than in the other. It is a question of direction by a trained artist.
Examples of The Worlds Homes are selected from various countries to show how each region has worked out its own solution of the problem of domestic art. The work of France, England, Germany, Switzerland, and our own country during the Old Colonial period has been widely different as to method, and reasonably uniform as to success. These examples indicate that we may hope to do our own work in our own way, preserve our own character, and develop a successful American architecture. The section under headings of Some House Plans and Materials and Details is an attempt at the practical working out of the general ideas involved in this book.
