THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT. 
Published Monthly, at $3 per annum—Single numbers 
25 cents—by C . M. Saxton, 205 Broadway, N. Y . 
T'lIE object of this publication is to introduce ORIGINAL DB- 
-*• SIGNS of Country Seats, adapted to the varied tastes and cir¬ 
cumstances of an American population—from the elegant Villa to the 
simple Cottage and plain Farm-House; from Planters’ Mansions to 
Village Domicils. In a w'ord, every variety of Rural Residences 
will be embraced in order to meet the view's of every person desi¬ 
ring a Country House. In respect to style, cost, arrangement, 
finish, &c., utility will never be sacrificed : economy in the out¬ 
lay, with an appropriate style, will always be kept in view. The 
requisite details, specifications, plans, and directions, with a careful 
and reliable estimate of the cost, will accompany each design. 
These are essential features of a Practical Work —and no labor will 
be spared in their preparation. 
Of the diversity of human dwellings, whether marked by ele¬ 
gance, convenience, or utility, or by the want of them, none can 
compare in national importance and philosophical interest with th® 
FarmHouse— the Homestead of our species. 
The selection of designss by those about to build Country Resi¬ 
dences, is commonly attended with embarrassment, and always 
with expense. When furnished by professional men from general 
ideas communicated by proprietors, they are seldom satisfactory. 
The American Architect, by furnishing a collection of designs 
adapted to all tastes and means, will remove every difficulty in the 
choice, and save money expended on plans of no use. It will fur¬ 
nish 12 Elevations, Plans and Specifications in each year, at a 
price not exceeding one seventh of the usual charge for one. 
“ The price is only 25 cen s for each number, and it is surely next 
to impossible but that such a periodical will obtain a wide circula¬ 
tion.”— N- Y. Tribune. 
“This work promises to supply a want which has long existed, 
and to be of essential value.’’—Salem Register. 
“ This work cannot fail to be useful and popular.”— Boston Bee. 
“ This is a good and beautiful work, and well adapted to effect a 
much desired reform in Am. Architecture.”— Boston Trav. 
The cost of building from the plans given, wili be from $600 to 
$5000, with complete specifications from a first rate Mason and 
Carpenter, and the prices given can be depended upon.
