ARCHITECTS’ and BUILDERS’ EDITION.
$2.50 a Year
Single copies, 25 cts.
This is a special edition of the Scientific American, issued monthly—on the first day of the month. Each number contains about forty large quarto pages, equal to about 200 ordinary book pages, forming, practically, a large and splendid Magazine of Architecture, richly adorned with elegant plates in colors and with fine engravings, illustrating the most interesting examples of modern architectural construction and allied subjects. A special feature is the presentation in each number of a variety of the latest and best plans for private residences, city and country, including those of very moderate cost, as well as the more expensive. Drawings in perspective and in color are given, together with plans, specifications, costs, etc. No other building paper contains so many plans and specifications, regularly presented, as the Scientific American. Thousands of dwellings have already been erected on the various plans we have issued, and many others are in process of construction.
Architects, builders and house owners will find this work valuable in furnishing fresh and useful suggestions. All who contemplate building or improving homes, or erecting structures of any kind, have before them in this work an almost endless series of the latest and best examples from which to make selections, thus saving time and money.
Many other subjects, including sewerage, piping, lighting, warming, ventilating, decorating, laying out of grounds, etc., are illustrated. An extensive Compendium of manufacturers’ announcements is also given, in which the most reliable and approved building materials, goods, machines, tools and appliances are described and illustrated, with addresses of the makers, etc.
The fulness, richness, cheapness and convenience of this work have won for it the largest circulation of any architectural publication in the world.
