      ACKNOWLEDGMENT

      THE publishers of Modern American Homes wish to express their grateful appreciation of the hearty cooperation of the architects who kindly offered the products of their art and skill and furnished the plans and details which add so materially to the value of this work. They also acknowledge the assistance of those publications which are themselves doing so much to spread this desire for and appreciation of good home building throughout the country, and which have so willingly supplied the necessary material from their files.

      The designs and studies which have been obtained directly from or by permission of the architects are indicated by the names which appear upon the plates. Other material has been secured through the cooperation of The House Beautiful, American Homes and Gardens, Country Life in America, House and Garden, Western Architect, National Builder, Brick Builder, and Ladies’ Home Journal. The assistance of the latter publication has been particularly valuable, the designs published by its permission being shown on Plates 11, 12, 18, 22, 39, 43, 44, 52–61, 63–75, 77, and 78, Copyright 1909, 1910, 1911, and 1912, The Curtis Publishing Company.

      A work of this kind must of necessity be only a compilation but it is hoped that the care and judgment which have been exercised in the selection of the material and the helpful comments of the author have resulted in a work of genuine merit—a real contribution to architectural literature as well as a stimulus to the seeker after a well-designed, well-built, and livable home.

      This Dover edition, first published in 1982, is an unabridged republication of the work originally published by the American Technical Society, Chicago, in 1913, under the title Modern American Homes.

      The publisher is grateful to Mr. John J. Mojonnier, Jr. of the Oak Park Landmarks Commission in Oak Park, Illinois, for calling attention to this work and for making a copy of the original available for reproduction.
