The architecture of the farm;
A mid-nineteenth-century architectural pattern book by John Starforth, published in Edinburgh and London by W. Blackwood and Sons in 1853, offering design plates for farm buildings and farmhouses aimed at landowners and builders. The plates are measured line drawings of elevations, rotated on the page, with plate numbers and labels printed beside them. A designer could draw from their simple massing, regular window rhythm, and gabled roofs for rural or country-house building forms.
