Woodward's Suburban and Country Houses #251773

WE endeavor in each number of this annual publica tion to give some fresh and valuable suggestions relative to designing and building Country Houses, and to meet, to some extent, the improving taste for convenient and beautiful homes. There is a growing appreciation for improved styles of building which is being recognized throughout all the better settled portions of our country. More favorable sites are chosen, and more consideration given to views from the house and to the effect produced by the house from all points. In a country like this, abounding in desirable locations with agreeable surroundings, there is ample space for displaying good judgment in the selection of a site on which to build and embellish a country residence.
