The building industry in the United States, including the architectural profession, has been geared to an era of tremendous growth in population. The profession has been keyed to the need for quick building. The unique contribution to architectural procedure has been the organization of the great "plan-factory," which employs up to two hundred men, engaged largely in making adaptations in stock plans for the local requirements of any particular building lot and dolling up the result in the nearest handy "style."
