Focusing on architectural design, this influential work from 1797 served as a key reference for builders in early 19th-century New England. Asher Benjamin's collection introduced an American architectural style, featuring detailed illustrations of various design elements such as orders, mouldings, and stair construction. The book includes practical plans and elevations for houses, a meeting house, and techniques for constructing complex structures, all meticulously engraved on thirty copper plates with accompanying explanations.
