"Between 1913 and 1937 the archtiectural firm of Howe, Manning and Almy designed more than 500 projects, of which still stand. At a time when professional women architects were rare (there were only three other such firms in the United States), the business success of these New England women was exceptional. Lois Lilley Howe, Eleanor Manning and Mary Almy, all graduates of MIT, became professionals of substantial achievement while most women were still confined to hearth and home. ... [This book] features interviews with twenty past and present residents of the firm's houses, some of them the original clients. All attest to the practicality, pleasing aesthetics and durability of these dwellings." (back cover) Includes illustrations and floor plans. Uncommon.
