About This Item
Chicago, (1909): Frederick J. Drake & Company. Octavo. Frontispiece, 395 pages, [16] publisher's ads with illustrations, index, and notes: Over 450 illustrations and diagrams. Fred T. Hodgson had begun his career as a carpenter, eventually becoming notable for helping to popularize the small, bungalow-style houses of the first two decades of the 20th century. Hodgson, a Canadian from Collingwood in Ontario, was born in 1838. From 1878 to his death in 1919, Mr. Hodgson edited the American Builder, as well as writing and editing scores of books on carpentry, house building, and architectural design. A very handsome copy bound in blue pictorial cloth depicting the frame of a house in white within decorative black frame, lettering gilt and black spine somewhat faded, only small spots of rubbing. Very nice.
