A unique turn-of-the-century catalog from a London manufacturer of prefabricated greenhouses, sheds, shacks, small buildings, stables, kiosks, and rustic furniture. Over 500 drawings, instructive for present-day gardeners, homeowners, and builders.

There are dozens of greenhouse shapes, cold frames (for starting seedlings), a variety of chicken coop designs (including portable chicken coops), aviaries, pigeon houses, and rabbit hutches.
There are designs for small farm buildings and portable wooden buildings, and a large section of designs for wood-frame buildings with roofing and/or siding of corrugated metal. This is especially timely, since corrugated metal has been rediscovered and is being used in a variety of ways these days.
This rare 100-year-old book is not only beautifully reproduced, but is useful and practical in this early 21st century.
Here are some sample pages from the book:
