About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Home and the City On entering a city we at once form an impression. If the city be one of attractive homes, tree-lined streets, with neatly kept and vine-covered cottages, the impression will surely be a good one, for such a city is a grateful contrast to the many towns and cities where this air of homelikeness and neatness is table for its absence. The individual home owner who maintains a well-kept lawn, tastily displayed shrubs and flowers, with such features of personal charms as a rose-covered arch, bird baths and possibly a productive vegetable garden, is certainly making a contribution to the city's beauty. Every city should have a city plan just as every home should have a definite plan of development; and yet if the homes, the units which make up the city, are t made attractive, the city is sure to fall short of its aspirations. Plan as we may for beautiful boulevards and attractive streets, to which we assume that contiguous buildings and grounds will conform automatically, it still remains in the power of the individual to spoil the effect of the whole scheme by building any kind of monstrosity he chooses or by developing his grounds in the most inharmonious manner, thus preventing a satisfactory working out of the scheme. The exterior of your house is t private property, says Ruskin, and this we should all realize; and in planning our places we should have the welfare of the entire street in mind. To assume that there would eventually be a regulation of housing architecture is too remote for conjecture, and yet one cant help but wish that such regulation were possible. Often when a portion of a street or certain districts are developed by the same company, the houses are built in a uniform type of architecture, study having been given to the street or section in order to produce a harmonious and thus a pleasing effect. That these developments win the admiration of all who see them is proof that a certain amount of regulation is desirable. Some, however, should be left for personal expression. Good architecture should be a characteristic t alone of the larger and more expensive home, for the small house can be designed in just as pleasing manner as the larger one.
