Our Complete Architectural Service 



It is the purpose of The Louden Architectural Department not only to prepare practical barn plans, 

 but to assist barn owners in the solution of any problems that may arise in regard to farm buildings or 

 equipment. 



They will give you expert advice on lighting, ventilating, heating, concrete work, strength of materials, 

 fire protection, drainage, disposal of manure, and upon all problems of sanitation or hygiene. 



We employ a landscape architect whose work is principally upon large estates, so arranging the 

 farm buildings that they will harmonize with one another and with their surroundings. 



Whether your farm is large or small, the buildings should be arranged with due regard to landscape 

 architecture and a general pleasing effect. Your farm buildings can display individuality and good archi- 

 tectural design, and at the same time be practical, modern and convenient, separately and collectively. 



Do not hesitate to consult us on any question of Farm Mechanics. 

 What is the capacity of my silo? 

 What size silo will I need for my herd? 

 How much concrete will I need to build a water tank? 

 What size post will be necessary to support an overhead grain bin? 



What size pulley will be required to run a cream-separator or a churn at proper speed? 

 What is a good formula for whitewash? 



We can help you answer many such puzzling questions, and will be glad to do so without charge and 

 without obligating you in any way.
