This volume celebrates the warmth and easy elegance of traditional Southern architecture and interior design, featuring houses of unpretentious and old-fashioned grace that showcase the talents of the South’s finest design professionals. Comfort and hospitality are words that express the spirit of simple Southern style. Featured in tantalizing photographs is a discerning selection of residences decorated by Bobby McAlpine, Ken Tate, Ryan Gainey, Jackye Lanham, Amelia Handegan, and others. Located in old Southern cities such as Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans, as well as seaside and mountain retreats, these intimate dwellings are steeped in architectural tradition. The residences profiled illustrate fresh design interpretations of romantic Southern style, such as a New Orleans double-shotgun with a modern all-white palette, a nineteenth-century summer cottage with updated coastal decor, and a Louisiana plantation house with handsome Creole antiques. Two sections, "Pure and Simple" and "Simply Elegant," explore the varied ways that Southerners express their love of comfort and gracious living. Dating from the eighteenth century to the present, the houses featured exemplify historic styles that evolved in response to their natural settings, inviting families to live in harmony with their surroundings. Integrating time-honored lessons of the past, these cozy dwellings also incorporate contemporary design sensibilities, making them especially appealing for today’s lifestyle.

It was the American Dream by Mail Order --Smithsonian Americans have ordered from Sears, Roebuck just about everything they have needed for their homes for 100 years--but from 1908 to 1940, some 100,000 people also purchased their houses from this mail-order wizard. Sears ready-to-assemble houses were ordered by mail and shipped by rail wherever a boxcar or two could pull in to unload the meticulously precut lumber and all the materials needed to build an exceptionally sturdy and well-designed house. From Philadelphia, Pa., to Coldwater, Kans., and Cowley, Wyo., Sears put its guarantee on quality bungalows, colonials and Cape Cods, all with the latest modern conveniences--such as indoor plumbing. Houses by Mail tells the story of these precut houses and provides for the first time an incomparable guide to identifying Sears houses across the country. Arranged for easy identification in 15 sections by roof type, the book features nearly 450 house models with more than 800 illustrations, including drawings of the houses and floor plans. Because the Sears houses were built to last, thousands remain today to be discovered and restored. Houses by Mail shows how to return them to their original charm while it documents a highly successful business enterprise that embodied the spirit and domestic design of its time. "After decades of obscurity, Sears houses have become chic." --Wall Street Journal "These were . spacious, solidly built homes." --Parade "Don't be surprised if your own cozy bungalow turns up [in the book]."--Philadelphia Inquirer "A nostalgic and informative look at the tastes of Americans in the years before World War II."--Publishers Weekly "The bible to researchers of Sears' ready-cut homes."--Saturday Evening Post

Excerpt from Modern Homes To every man and woman there comes a time when their keenest desire is for a home of their own - a plot of ground that will blossom in springtime with cool, green lawns and bright, sweet-scented flowers, and a house which, however modest, will express in its design and arrangement their own ideas of what a home should be. Every home builder yearns for a house that is different from ordinary houses, that possesses distinctive features - a house that people will notice and admire - and this desire is not due to pride alone but to common sense, for such a house will command a better price should the owner ever wish to sell it. If the rented house you live in increases in value your landlord reaps the profit - not you. If the house you build for yourself is well built and the location wisely chosen, you can live in it rent free for ten years and then sell it for more than it cost you. Home ownership makes for economic independence and happiness. The houses illustrated in this book of homes possess to an unusual degree a charm and individuality rarely found in moderately priced houses. As you turn the pages you will realize that they have been designed by men who are not only familiar with every kind of building material and the most approved methods of building construction, but who are responsive to the charm of pleasing proportions, to the beauty of harmonious color combinations and to that touch of originality that challenges admiration. These homes are the last word in style and convenience, yet so perfectly are they designed that not an unnecessary dollar of expense is incurred. There are complete working drawings for each of the designs that follow in this book and in using these plans the home builder will find that his home has been formed from a complete scheme, from a design that has been thoroughly studied, planned for convenience, constructed for strength, modeled for beauty. In the home you select there may be some change you would like made - a rearrangement of rooms, some special feature added. Changing the plans to meet your ideas are made by competent architects. We will be glad to give you complete information concerning material and labor costs, approximate time necessary to complete building and other data which may interest you. Please feel free to consult with us. An estimate of cost on any house you are interested in will be cheerfully furnished. We can be of very definite service to you in explaining construction and other details. Our broad experience and knowledge of materials and trade conditions will be of the greatest help to you - and you need not feel obligated in any way. We are justly proud of our careful and prompt deliveries. Our quick service will help you to avoid waste of time and labor - free you from unnecessary delays.

Acclaimed architect Gil Schafer illustrates how he blends classical architecture, interior decoration, and landscape to create homes with a feeling of history. As a traditional architect, Gil Schafer specializes in building new "old" houses as well as renovating historic homes. His work takes the best of American historic and classical architecture—its detailed moldings and harmonious proportions—and updates it, retaining its character and detail while simultaneously reworking it to be more in tune with the way we live now—comfortable, practical, family-oriented. In his first book, Schafer covers the three essential cornerstones of creating a great traditional house: architecture, landscape, and decoration. He discusses the important interplay between the interior architecture and the fabrics, furniture, and wall treatments. In-depth profiles build on these essays, including Schafer’s own new "old" house in the Hudson Valley; the renovation of a historic home in Nashville designed by Charles Platt in 1915; and the restoration of a magnificent 1843 Greek Revival mansion in Charleston. Filled with hundreds of interior and detail shots, The Great American House is an invaluable resource for anyone who loves old houses and traditional design.

In 1927, the Chicago Tribune sponsored a competition for "trained men of talent, incorporating into the small home ideas of real worth, types of rare charm, and the best possible plans for comfort and convenience." This collection spotlights the challenge’s top results, presenting the nineteen prize-winning designs for five- and six-room houses, plus eighty additional sets of the best architectural plans. A new introduction by Daniel D. Reiff, Ph.D., adds interesting detail about the competition and the competitors. These fascinating snapshots of American domestic architecture of the 1920s include glimpses of New England and Southern colonials, Normandy cottages, stately Italianate dwellings, and other styles. Each of the designs features a floor plan and exterior views of the house. Architects, architecture buffs, and historians will prize these authentic renderings of the leading designs in American architecture of nearly a century ago.
