1927 Houses Without Deposit: Being a New Way of Home-Building Without Financial Anxiety

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

First edition. Very scarce. 

In the original paper covered boards. 

Illustrated with a colour tipped-in frontispiece, eight double-sided monochrome plates and two double-sided colour plates. Collated, complete. 

A charming insight into the development of Richings Park, a Garden Village expansion proposed by the entrepreneurial Sykes brothers (Harry, Eric and Friend) which never came to fruition. This volume highlights the desirability of these houses, including the already completed designs of George E. Clare as examples. With details of typical weekly costs, services, pastimes, and guaranteed rooms.  

This was the first of two promotional books published by the Estate Company. 

Held in the rear pocket are ten pamphlets (2pp each) illustrated with two interior plans each (taking up one full page). These detail a series of types of accommodation and the fittings and costs.
