Homes in City and Country is an 1893 architecture book by Russell Sturgis, published in New York by Scribner's, aimed at architects and general readers interested in domestic design. The pictures are pen-and-ink drawings and engravings of American houses, with clapboard and shingle walls, porches, bay windows and brick townhouse fronts, showing how plain vernacular forms can be drawn with economical line work and tonal hatching for layout and facade studies.
