"Homes and How to Make Them" by E. C. Gardner is a practical guide written in the late 19th century that aims to provide comprehensive advice on home construction and design. The book is structured as a series of letters exchanged between an architect and a family man, focusing on the various elements that contribute to building comfortable and aesthetically pleasing homes. The text is likely to appeal to readers interested in architecture, design, and the important principles behind creating effective living spaces. The opening of "Homes and How to Make Them" introduces the ambitious architect's correspondence with John, a family man determined to build a home for himself. The architect expresses the significance of building with intention, emphasizing how a person's character can reflect in their home. John's initial apprehension about moving from fanciful air-castles to a real house highlights the complexities and practical realities of construction. The architect aims to guide John through the process, offering practical suggestions about choosing a location, materials, and the fundamental needs of a home before delving deeper into architectural principles and choices in subsequent letters.
