Excerpt from Cottages, or Hints on Economical Building: Containing Twenty-Four Plates of Medium and Low Cost Houses, Contributed by Different New York Architects; Together With Descriptive Letterpress, Giving Practical Suggestions for Cottage Building
It seems hardly necessary to enlarge upon the importance of an architect's services, since that is now generally recognized. Sensible people, when they are ill, consult a physician and not an apothecary; and when they wish to plan a house, they take the advice of an architect and not a builder. Both apothecary and builder are of course necessary, but they must be wisely directed or they may be dangerous indeed.
