100 Turn-of-the-Century Brick Bungalows with Floor Plans (Dover Architecture) Paperback – July 13, 1994
by Rogers & Manson (Author)
(NEW BOOK)

Reprinted from rare 1912 catalog, this book presents 100 winning entries from a nationwide competition for brick bungalow designs. Superb renderings show houses in perspective, floor plans, some landscape planning -- even a budget

When Brickbuilder, an early 20th-century trade publication, sponsored a major nationwide competition for bungalow designs, over 600 drawings were submitted by architects and draftsmen from around the country. This book, reprinted from a rare catalog published in 1912, contains the 100 winning entries from that event. The competition had two important criteria: the principal construction material was to be brick, and the complete cost — exclusive of the land — would be about $3,000.
The winning designs came from all over the United States and reflected a diverse range of tastes and styles — from a single-floor, tile-roof hacienda to an elaborate thatched-roof English cottage, complete with decorative brickwork and a semicircular exterior wall. Each of the 100 superbly rendered plates shows the house in perspective and provides floor plans, some landscape planning, and an itemized list of construction costs.
