Domestic ArCHITEcture 1916

            Jones - Furbinger, Memphis Architects.
 


The practice of Architecture demands a specialist as highly trained as in any of the leading professions.  Architecture is essentially a Fine Art.  It has been defined as the art or science of building, but before a building can be classified as among the Fine Arts, it must possess sufficient merit to distinguish it from that condition which answers only material requirements.  This book is intended as as a treatise on Domestic Architecture ...  M. H. Furbringer
 

 Sincere thanks to Dave French for allowing us to scan and post a copy of his very rare book.
