Excerpt from Building a Home: A Book of Fundamental Advice for the Layman About to Build HE Big House is big enough to take care of itself. Whenever approached in books the treatment it re ceives leaves the average reader with something of the aloof sensations of a Spectator at a play. Never does it become the subject of popular architectural manuals, as though it were a lay problem or a topic of familiar interest, suit able for exposition, admonition, and advice. Tacitly, all acknowledge that the Big House is strictly an affair for professional treatment. Even the Owner retires before the di¿iculties and complexities involved in planning, designing, constructing, and equipping the large domicile, admitting that technical training really is necessary for the adequate solution of the problems involved.
