(Architecture and Design). BUILDER'S WOODWORK. UNIVERSAL DESIGN BOOK NUMBER 25. AMERICAN SASH AND DOOR CO. KANSAS CITY, MO. Kansas City, Mo.: American Sash & Door Company, 1927. Quarto. Published by The Universal Catalog Bureau in Dubuque, Iowa, this catalog was available to trades people of the day and would be printed with each company's name on the cover and title page. Bound in original brown cloth, 356 pages, including index. Profusely illustrated with black and white, half-tone and color illustrations of Arts and Crafts bungalow interior and exterior elements, as well as more traditional styles. This exceptional trade catalogue of period detail provides invaluable assistance for interior design professionals and home restoration. The Universal Design Book, No. 25, with its wide array of quality materials for home construction was distributed by many lumber and building companies, the binding stamped with the company's name and logo. These fine products that were the "standard choices" of the day reveal the woeful group of look alikes offered at modern DIY stores as the pathetic elements that they are, both aesthetically and with regard to the quality of construction. Although the date of the book is a bit past the generally accepted boundaries of the Arts and Crafts period, " Mission Style" is on abundant display in inglenooks, bookcases, china closets, doors, stairways and more. Sun porches with rustic furnishings are pictured and the garden is considered with illustrations of trellises and seating. Aside from some light rubbing to the extremities, this is a fine copy.
