Book of homes
Montgomery Ward and Co.'s 1917 Book of Homes is a mail-order catalogue of house plans, published in the United States for prospective buyers choosing a dwelling to order. Its pages show floor plans of modest one- and two-story houses, each labelled with room names and dimensions. A designer could take from the plans clear, schematic room layouts with hand-lettered dimensions and simple line-drawn walls, suited to vintage architectural diagrams.
