William Alexander Harvey, architect to the Bournville estate near Birmingham, expands a 1904 lecture into a practical study of cottage homes for working people. He describes the village, sets out plans and costs for cottages built for as little as £135, and covers materials, the large living room, and the laying out of gardens.
