Stickley's Craftsman Homes presents valuable information that historic homeowners and buyers, architects and historians need in order to identify and preserve the surviving Stickley homes. For the first time, all 221 known Gustav Stickley house designs are collected together as originally published in The Craftsman magazine almost 100 years ago, along with exterior illustrations, floor plans and historical photos.

Gustav Stickley pioneered a form of architecture based on beauty, simplicity, utility, and organic harmony. This inexpensive reprint of a very rare catalog testifies to the enduring charm of his designs. It comprises numerous architectural drawings and photographs of Mission-style homes, including floor plans and descriptive text. "Planned for comfort, convenience, and economy," each of these homes features a simple arrangement of rooms and sturdy structural features. Combining good taste with practicality, they offer openness for common household life, as well as sufficient seclusion for privacy. Models range from a two-family house of cement or stucco to a nine-room cottage of brick and shingles and a seven-room country bungalow. Restorers of old houses, preservationists, and students of American architectural history will prize this well-illustrated treasury of authentic plans and details.
