Description
|
|
|
|
Rather than a step-by-step instruction manual or project book, this 1908 guide by architect and parks commissioner William Wicks is a book of general advice and explanation for the experienced craftsman or the aficionado of log buildings. Wicks describes the basic design principles of framing, roofing, flooring, doors and windows, fireplaces, and partition walls, emphasizing how the structure's interior and exterior should harmonize with the surrounding environment, and provides numerous examples of permanent and temporary "camp structures." Among his colored drawings are finished buildings from his native New York, with floor plans.
