Description
The Cheap Cottage and Small House sets out architect Gordon Allen's vision of simple, well built housing for both the working and middle classes.
This digitally remastered version of the 1919 edition focuses on the particular need for clean, healthy but cheap housing in the years of reconstruction and social change following World War I. Using photos and illustrations of contemporary designs accompanied by floor plans, Allen describes a range of styles and sizes of house whilst offering insight into layout, materials and construction costs. The Cheap Cottage and Small House is fascinating and informative reading for anyone interested in architecture, the British landscape or social history.
