Aladdin's 1917 catalog, reprinted here from a rare original edition, shows over 60 homes, from a simple four-room cottage with a front porch to a comfortable two-story home with four bedrooms, a reception hall and pantry. Landscaped exteriors of each design are depicted in photographs or in detailed illustrations. Floor plans for each are included, and many homes are shown in overhead cutaway views that display furnished interiors. A detailed commentary on each home points up the features that make it especially appealing. Enhanced with over 370 illustrations, including 120 photographs, this rare catalog gives readers a close-up view of home design and construction in the early years of the 20th century.
