About this book
Rural Architecture, by Lewis F. Allen, is offered as a complete description of farm houses, cottages, and out buildings, together with lawns, pleasure grounds and parks and the flower, fruit and vegetable garden. The text says the prevailing rural architecture is discordant in appearance, and also uncouth, out of keeping with correct rules, and ofttimes offensive to the eye of any lover of rural harmony. The text asks of what consequence it is that the farmer or small property-holder should conform to given rules.
The text says there is no pleasanter sight of labor than to see a father, with his young lads about him, planting a tree. The text says innumerable farms and places have been sold at high prices, over those of perhaps greater producing value, merely for the trees which embellished them. The text calls the smooth terrier a very pretty dog indeed, with a kinder disposition to mankind, yet equally destructive to vermin.
