Bennett's Small House Catalog, 1920
by Bennett Lumber Co.
Bennett's Small House Catalog, 1920, is an 8 x 11" 73 page reprint. It's an interesting book to peruse. There are 7 pages of background info on Bennett in the front and 4 pages of building supplies in the back. That stuff is always an interesting read. The other pages are good quality photos and floorplans (with a sales pitch, too) of the misc. homes sold by Bennett. The photo and reprint quality is very good and the black and white pictures [drawings?] are unusually sharp for a reprint.
Designs for 56 single family dwellings: cottages, bungalows and colonials, all shown in photographs and floor plans. Also, garage models, plumbing and lighting fixtures, furnaces, kitchen and medicine cabinets, French doors and stairways. For architectural and social historians, old house restorers and preservationists and Americana enthusiasts.
