About this book
Homes and How to Make Them is a book by E. C. Gardner. The preface says these letters between the architect and his friends are composed of hints and suggestions relating to the building of homes. The preface gives their aim as giving practical information to those about to build.
Letter III, from the architect to John, is headed “The Beauty of Truth and Utility.” The same letter gives as the first grand lesson that the beauty of your building cannot be thrust upon it, but must be born with it, must be an inseparable part of it. The text asks about blinds: “what shall be done with the other windows?” One speaker says, “I'd noticed some unusual and rather suggestive performances of late, but wasn't quite prepared for a request to rent the old house the very day we moved.”
