Book lovers love to collect and grieve when the books need to go. Here's the list leaving home in January, 2025
Architecture as space; how to look at architecture. Bruno Zevi. Horizon Press, 1957.
202 outstanding city house ideas. Manuel Gutierrez Couto. Firefly Books, 2016. We kept this on the coffee table for several years and browsed as needed. Someone will enjoy.
The old house book of cottages and bungalows. Compiled by Lawrence Grow. Main Street Press, Pittstown, New Jersey, 1987. Here's the problem with "weeding." On p. 103 is the floor plan of the home of my friend Lynne in Mt. Morris, IL described as California mission styled bungalow. Many adorable 2 bedroom homes.
The plywood house. Prepared by the School of Architecture of Pratt Institute. 71 p. Internet record says published in 1966, but I can't find it on the piece. I think it was part of an exhibition.
Your new house; the alert consumer's guide to buying and building a quality home. by Alan & Denise Fields, Windsor Peak Press, 1993.
Historic houses of America open to the public (An American Heritage guide) 1971. 320 p.
Twentieth Century American architecture; a traveler's guide to 220 key buildings. Sydney LeBlanc. Revised and expanded 2nd edition. Whitney Guide. Whitney Library of Design, 1996.
Arkkitehti [Finnish architectural review] v. 7, no. 8, 1976. It's my guess this came from Erkki Alanen who lived with us when he first came to Columbus.
Plans for concrete houses. 3rd ed. Portland Cement Assocation, 1925. Insert is an order blank to buy more books, 79 p. This was my grandparents'.
