SynopsisIn all, "Building by the Book" reflects a thorough study in what is probably a neglected period of building, whereby middle class owners were enabled to build architect-designed homes which would otherwise have been reserved for the wealthy. Pattern books also provided direction for local builders., Demonstrates how architectural ideas from books and popular periodicals helped shape New Jersey's landscape from the colonial era to World War II.
