A Competition for a house to be built to cost $10,000 to $13,750. This competition was sponsored by the Detroit Free Press newspaper to promote “Small House” design in an era when housing prices depressed housing construction starts. These houses look larger than what you would guess. The houses shown are less than 2,000 square feet. The architects who entered were the best in the entire United States community because of the very high prize awards offered. These designs represent Prairie Style, Colonial, French, English, and Modern designs from architects trained during the Golden Age of architectural studio apprenticeships. These homes could be built today. These competitions required 1 pen and ink drawing on Bristol Board from each architect so they could be reproduced on a copper plate rotogravure printing press for maximum quality equal to lithographs. These reproductions are not cheap half-tone reprints, but full density ink drawings. The entries show a beautiful perspective drawing, and floor plans. The book pages contain razor sharp, high resolution black line drawings on natural cream paper. Many drawings are beautiful enough to frame as artwork. These drawings are some of the very best architectural ink drawings ever performed. The original version of this book is among the rarest of all books on earth. The originals were paper bound and crumbled over the past century due to acid in the paper. There is only 1 copy in our publishing office. No libraries worldwide have a copy. Our company has been digitizing all of the House Design Competitions of the early period of the 20th century up to the Depression when most of the Golden Age architects ceased production and retired.
