Building construction drawing

Eaton, Richard B.

Building construction drawing - Shaftesbury Donhead 2004 - xvii, 291p. ill. 28cm.

First published in six parts between 1914 and 1921, this book containing working drawings and specifications has been reprinted to provide a useful reference for architects and other conservation specialists working on traditional buildings. Covers a wide range of details, with particular emphasis on joinery, including windows, doors, staircases, panelling, picture and chair rails, and architraves. Also covers brick and tile floors, chimney heads, yard gates, and an example of a roof for a small house. These will be of particular relevance to the maintenance of buildings constructed between 1900 and 1939.
