Concrete And Stucco Houses

Excerpt from Concrete and Stucco Houses: The Use of Plastic Materials in the Building of Country and Suburban Houses in a Manner to Insure the Qualities of Fitness, Durability and Beauty It may be well to save the reader from idly speculating as to why the illustrations in this book have been limited to the works of American architects, when there exist in foreign countries so many masterpieces from which beautiful examples could be drawn. When the text was completed and the illustrations selected they were submitted to the publishers under the comprehensive title, "The Use and Abuse of Concrete and Stucco in Their Application to the Rural and Suburban Architecture of America," which title, while explicit, was too unwieldy for practical use. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the architects and others who have so courteously supplied illustrations of their works; to Mr. Henry H. Saylor, for valuable suggestions in the arrangement of this book; to my father, Dr. Rudolph Hering, and to Mr. Albert Moyer, for dissipating the clouds that obscured several technical peaks; and to my partner, Mr. Douglass Fitch, for his cordial aid in supervising the drawings of the constructional details.
