VI A very elegant Cottage, illustrated in this book by plans, exterior and interior views, full description as to location, owner's name, actual cost $2,775, everythine complete and elegant. We say that no builder of houses, of moderate cost, who wishes to make money by making them beautiful, can affprd to be with- out this valuable work. It is full of suggestion from cover to cover. The plans shown have been built from and many of them duplicated many times over. All are practical, the creation of a well-known firm of successful .Architects, and are alike valuable to builders and any one who has in view the erection of a house. The plans are susceptible of slight changes that will adapt them to any taste. The carpenter remote from a city needs just such a book to refer to or to e.xhibil to his customer, so that the latter can give his orders in an intelligible manner. The much- desired economy in these structures is not, however, obtained at the expense of beauty— every one of the designs, even the very cheap- est, is i)leasing to the eye. Following the ideas laid down, the builder is Sure to obtain a pretty result. Another result aimed at by the authors is the coiwenience of internal ar. rangements. Many a good house has been spoiled by having the needed closet room omitted. Ail this has been carefully studied The value of this work to builders cannot be estimated, as il by the practical and experienced gentlemen whose names are on the book, and the .owner or working builder who selects a design from this work will be sure to secure all the ele. gance, convenience, and economy possible in the erection of a house. If you ever intend to build get this book and study it before you commence. This should be your first step toward building a house, so as td ascertain what kind of a house you want and find out how much it is going to cost before going ahead. There is not one person in a hundred that builds a house but what wishes, after it is too late, that he had made some different arrange- ments on planning the interior, and would give many dollars to have had it otherwise, but it is too late. Also there is riot one in a hundred but what will tell you that his house is costing a great deal more than he calculated it would. The reason of this is he starts to build without proper consideration; his only foundation is the money he has to build with and large imagi- nations. About the time he has his building enclosed his imaginations vanish and his money with them. >ntains designs lor just such houses as they are called on to build f There is not a builder in ihe country who can afford to neRlect this h-'ok.

PalHMT A Co., Architect*. New York THE ENTRANCE. AT the International Congress of Architects, Ronen, the secretary, M. Lucas, introdiicpd the following, defining the rights of the profession: 1. The architect ought to possess the same right of controlling the reproduction or copying of his architectural work that is possessed hy the painter, the sculptor and all other artists. 2. The architect, like every other artist, should reserve to himself the exclusive right to reproduce, or authorize the reproduction of his work ; and any law wliich might be made in favor of the protection of any artist, should apply to the architect. 3. Any architect who had conceived a plan of an edifice or directed its erection should have the right to inscril)e upon it his name and profession. The very general ignorance as to the value of an architect's services, makes it difficult to ask or expect legal protection in what should be the exclusive property of an architect. Until the pr(!ss of the country is informed and interested in architectural matters, it is doubtful if there will be a public intelUgence to recognize the claims of the architect. '■Architecture has its political use, public buildings bciiis the ornament of a coinilry; it (-slnblislies a nation.

Si, New York THE AUTHORS INTRODUCTION. pi'esenting theso plans and designs to public officers, building committees and corporations, and others interested in Iniilding. and especially devoted to the advancement of the imhlic welfare, we desire to say, that in doing so, it has been our endeavor to jiresent a selection of practical plans that, with few additions and changes, can be adapted to the requirements of all grades and sizes of villages, towns, cities and counties. While it is not expected that these plans will meet all the requirements of communities other than those for whom they wei-e designed, still they can be used as a basis of study, from wliich suitable buildings can be developed to meet their wants peculiarities of site and other conditions. The rapid progress which has been made witliin the past ten years, in both the interior arrangement and external treatment of buildings, very forcibly illustrates ihe desirability of seeking the services of an able and trustworthy architect in order to obtain the best i"esults and to meet the true wants and requirements of the public, rather than by bungling with those who have no ability, character or experience in such matters ; and it is a well-estabhshed fact, that in these days not 'only individuals, but public bodies who are intrusted with the expenditure of the peojile's money, not only want, but demand the most pr.icticable plans with the best and most aiiistic designs that the money they are prepared to expend will procure in the execution of the structure, and without involving any gi-eater expenditure or even as much —omissions and extras amounting sometimes to 50 per cent of the contract being saved — if they bad blundered and failed to secure these requisites ; and in order to i-each this residt, the services of those who are doing a lai'ge and progressive business must lie sought. A well-developed and carefully drawn plan will in every case save many times its cost, by itself being a basis on which exact estimates can be made, and in enabhng the corporation or commissionere to know to a penny the cost of the proposed building, and also what the material and workmanship is to be throughout, and to obtain the completed edifice without disappointment and extras of cost. Another thing the plans given in the following pages prove conclusively that there is a very general tendency on the pyrt of the public at large, to secure the best services regardless of the location of the architect, and local prejudices have in consequence often to give way to the better work of an architect at a distance. A successful architect is he that can originate practical things that have pleasing effects, and that can be executed at a moderate cost and this we claim for om- fii-m, and, by the w-ay, we may also state that distance is no obstacle, and we furnish, in a thorough, most comprehensive and satisfactory manner, working plans and specifications complete for placing in the hands of builders from correspondence alone. Hence, if your people are preparing to build, or wish to remodel, add to or decorate, to i;iii)rove ventilation, drainage, heating, or to correct existing defects of any kind; to lay out grounds, or wish any uiformation or sei-vice connected with building, we cordially invite them to corresi)ond with us. If desired, we will visit parties at any distance for consultation. Our terms are moderate and our work extends throughout the Western world. 24 East 4:^.1 Street, New York, July, 1S89. Very respectfully, PALLISEli, PALLISEK & CO., Architects. CopyriRhl. 1889. by ! Palliscr & Co., Archil DESCRIPTIVE. large perspective view given on the title page — opposite, and the three following plates are reproductions of preUminaiy sketches submitted at the request of the County Commissioners of Escambia County, Florida, after they had a-lready received from Southern architects some sketches, none of which were considered suitable designs for their new County Court House, and therefore, with a view of obtaining what they desired, they communicated with us, asking what our charges would be, etc., and informing us that they wished to erect a building giving a certain amount of accommodation, to be constructed of brick with stone trimmings, to cost about so nmch money, and to be erected on a corner lot and to be designed with special reference to the requirements, climate, etc., etc. We rephed that the cost of preparing a set of 1-8 scale sketches for such a building as would meet all their wants, would be $100, sketches to be returned to us, but that, if our design should be adopted no charge would be made for sketches, and in such case our compensation for the whole woi'k would be fixed at our regular rates for such services. These terms were accepted, and later, our design likewise, and the building was erected from our full working plans, detail drawings and specifications. See pages 11 to 38 inclusive. The chairman of the County Commissioners, on receipt of the sketches, wrote us that they had been placed in the bank for examination by the public and that their people were much pleased with the same and were more than satisfied, and no one cared to look at the sketches sent in by their home talent, which had already been examined and found wanting, and as their authors had submitted them entirely without charge, on what is sometimes called the no cure no pay basis, they were favored with a prompt return and notice of their rejection. In giving particulars the County Commissioners omitted to send us a diagram of the lot, showing location of street corner, and we had to guess at this when preparing the sketches, and the tower was placed on the wrong side, but this by no means interfered with the excellence of the design and the practical solution of the problem and the consequent delight of the people of Escambia Count}" and particularly of those resident at Pensacola, and in jjrejiaring the working plans, the same were reversed to suit the street corner. At the outset the people did not wish to expend more money than absolutely necessary, and it was intended that good selected hard red brick, such as their local yards produce, should be used for exterior, but finally it was decided that the climate required, and the design was deserving of, a better material, and therefore, it was voted to make a first-class building, by using the best materials and letting the entire work by contract to responsible parties at the most reasonable price possible and the result is a building, at a total exjiense of SlS.OOO, like unto the Heliotype print, from nature, given in supplement. What guided us in the preparation of this design was simply an honest endeavor to carry out in the most practical manner the requirements, and, at the same time, produce a structure in keeping with the growing needs of such a building, in all that pertains to its arrangement of plan, convenience of access to all parts, its sanitary needs, and with an exterior of such mold as is best suited to the requirements of plan and giving a. solid and imposing appearance. The internal arrangements received careful study, and will, it is hoped, meet the views and aproval of many. The piazzas, entrances, hallways and stairs have been placed to auit climate and so as to give liberal and easy access to the whole, without waste or surplus, yet forming a compact, though spacious interior for the purposes intended. The exterior is simply the clothing that covers tlie body, and is a natural outgrowth of the plan, the detail being necessary to the general construction, and requisite to the proper dignity of the stylo of architecture in which the building is designed, and which is a free adaptation of modern Renaissance and selected by us because we considered it the best that could be employed for a building of this natui-e, giving a greater nobility of character, and capable of the most substantial construction while productive of the most artistic effects for the least outlay. The plans and drawings are so plain that any one can readily see and ascertain for themselves what tlie arrangements are, and any description here of tlie rooms would be useless; likewise, the specifications and details are valuable, giving, as they do, a full account of the materials and methods used in construction.

PAID UP CAPITAL $2,000,000. ^^^^^^^ I MANUFACTUREBS OF- Wood Filler POLISHED PLATE GLASS Is the only Filler by which a PERFECTLY SMOOTH and hard surface can be obtained without the necessity of RUBBING OFF. It ia an elBcient substi- tute for Sliellac and Rubbing Varnisb. It Saves Varnish. It Saves Time. It Saves Labor. and It is particularly adapted for PINE, as it doea not discolor the lightest is perfectly TRANSPARENT. It works as smoothly and flows as easily as Linseed Oil and dues not show laps. It is a superior WACL SIZING. It makes a first-clase job when one coat of McCloskey's Ambtr Finish or other varnish is used. It makes the FINEST POSSIBLE FINISH when two coats of the Amber Fini.sh are used. It has made a revolution in the art of finishing, and when once used will never be dispensed with. McCloskey's WOOD FILLER and STAIN COMBINED is used on Pine, Poplar, Cherry or any other wood that is usually stained. It saves two operations and TWO-THIRDS OF THE MATERIAL usually used in this class of work, as it STAINS, FILLS the grain and acts as FIRST COAT OF VARNISH all in one operation. It requires no sand-papering and does not raise tin Grain of tlie Wood. The Filler and Stain combined is the only article that will renovate old grained work, by its use old graining can be made to look as good as NEW. It is the only Stain in the market that will give satisfactory results when used over painted work. We strongly recommend the FILLER and STAIN COMBINED to all who are building dwellings either for their own use or for sale. By their use a pleasing variety of finish may be obtained without additional expense, for instance, one room may be fini.sbed with Cherry Slain, another with Walnut or Antique Oak, another in Maliogany or Light Oak. so that the unpleasant monotony of having the whole house finished in the same style is avoided. ^T0E giVIBER FI{VISB#^ Is made expressly fur finishing Public Buildings, Institutions, Churches, Fine Mansions, Etc. It is made from the Best Materials l)y the Best Workmen and is the PALEST. MOST DURABLE and ELASTIC FINISH -IN THE MARKET. It can be rubbed or polished in citlier water or oil and flows with a brilliant lustre. For use over stained or painted work it has no equal on account of its Elasticity. It is heavy-bodied and one coat will give a better result than two coats of inferior goods. The Amber Finish will give a superior result when used alone ; when used over the Liquid Royal Wood Filler it w.ll give the finest possible finish that ( . be obtained by the use of any other materials. The LIOUID ROYAL WOOD FILLER it U AMBER FINISH will be found to be the most SATISFACTORY GOODS in the market for all fine work. They are the best for the painter as they are always uniform. They are the best for the architect to specify us they always give satisfaction. They are tlie best for the owner or purchaser as they are the most durable. They are the best for the Builder as they give the best finish and make the build- ing attractive and salable. None Oenutne without the Signature qf DEALERS AND JOBBERS THROUGHOUT U. S.
