Description: Vintage 1920s Designs Homes Bungalows 115 Floor Plans GORDON HOMES Lumber Co Ohio Very Rare original antique softcover home plan book . . . one of the harder brands to find – I doubt you can find another one of these!This book is undated, but I would guess it is from the 1920s based on the home designs - and possibly from the 1910s. Illustrated with color and black & white illustrations of the homes and floor plans and some descriptive material. Published by Gordon Lumber Company with Lumber yards in Ohio State. The company wanted to sell you the house plans and then they wanted you to purchase the lumber from them! Quality illustrations and designs . . . I show you many examples of the designs . . . approximately 115 different designs . . . The American bungalow did not appear until around 1905. First built in Southern California, where most landmark examples are found, this style dominated U.S. home architecture until 1930. 8 1/2” x 11 1/4” with 112 pages Interesting Company History from the web: FREMONT, Ohio — Started in 1868 by Ohio settler Washington Gordon, this year Gordon Lumber celebrates 150 years of building communities throughout Ohio and Michigan. From the small sawmill built 15 decades ago by Gordon in Oak Harbor, Ohio, the company now has seven locations employing 120 people and servicing 3,500 customers. Washington Gordon opened the doors of The Gordon Lumber Company in Oak Harbor 152 years ago. What began as a sawmill perched on the banks of the Portage River, where oak grown throughout the Midwest was shipped around the world, Gordon Lumber grew into six home centers and lumberyards. (an update on the company . . . in more recent years, Gordon Lumber announced that it would be closing three of its four Ohio retail locations in Port Clinton, Huron and its corporate offices in Fremont. All of its operations will now be based at the store location in Genoa.) Condition: Good condition . . . Complete and tightly bound – no writing – The front coveris a little rough, the upper right corner seems to have been exposed to liquid . . . this affects the first two pages with a water stain . . . the first third of the book has a faint waterstain in the outside margin ~ and the rest of the pages do not have this . . . the back cover has shelfwer scuffing Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! ~ I combine shipping ~ Thanks for looking! 9113 Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
