The Architect and Builder's Library, compiled by Charles Middleton and published in London in 1815, is a pattern book of architectural designs for English cottages, farmhouses and country homes, aimed at builders and architects. Its plates are measured elevations, floor plans and cross-sections drawn in ink and wash, some hand-coloured with soft greens and pinks, showing plain classical and vernacular houses a designer could adapt for rural building.
