Abstract

The House that Jill Built
February 1, 1883 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The House That Jill Built, After Jack's Had Proved a Failure: A Book on Home Architecture," by E.C. Gardner. The people who need a good home ought by this time to be pretty well acquainted with Gardner's clever books on house building. To plan a house to suit a man's idiosyncrasies requires the same sort of familiarity as to paint his portrait well. The natural corollary that the wife, who is to spend her days in the house, and rule its daily work, should be the best judge of its adaptation, is implied in Gardner's title, and is the keynote of the book.
