Building Construction Drawing - R Eaton

Building Construction Drawing - R Eaton

First published in six parts in the period 1914 to 1921 this volume has now been reprinted to provide a useful sourcebook for architects and other conservation specialists working on traditional buildings. This was one of the first books to include specifications and working drawings of joinery details, drawn on a large scale, which complemented the earlier better known construction 'pattern books' of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The book covers a wide range of details, with particular emphasis on joinery, including windows, doors, staircases, panelling, picture and chair rails, and architraves but also covering brick and tile floors, chimney heads, yard gates, and an example of a roof for a small house. These will be of particular relevance to the maintenance of buildings constructed between 1900 and 1939. ISBN 978-1873394717
