Rural Architecture: Being A Complete Description Of Farm Houses, Cottages, And Out Buildings This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.

Autorenporträt

Lewis Falley Allen (1800-1890) was a Renaissance man of the 19th century, whose interests and expertise spanned across agriculture, literature, and architecture. Allen is perhaps best known for his work 'Rural Architecture' (1852), a treatise that provided practical guidance for the construction of farm buildings, homes, and other rural structures. Born in Westfield, Massachusetts, Allen moved to Buffalo, New York, where he became an influential figure in the agricultural development of the area. His book is noteworthy for encapsulating the architectural philosophies of the time, blending functionality with aesthetic considerations suitable for rural settings. In 'Rural Architecture', readers find not only architectural blueprints and cost estimates but also Allen's broader reflections on the role of architecture in improving agricultural efficiency and living standards. Allen's contribution through his writings extended beyond their practical application, as they often mirrored the broader transition in American society during the 19th century from agrarian to a more industrial and urban economy. His literary style is grounded in clarity and is informative, reflecting the educational purpose of his works. His dedication to enhancing rural life is underscored by his tenure as the New York State Agricultural Society's secretary, which further established him as a central figure in advocating for progressive farming techniques and rural improvement.
