"Rural Architecture" by Lewis Falley Allen is a comprehensive guide on farm buildings and domestic structures written in the mid-19th century. The work focuses on the design and construction of various types of rural buildings, including farmhouses, cottages, outbuildings, and essential amenities for agricultural life. Allen aims to elevate the aesthetics and functionality of rural living, emphasizing the importance of good taste and practical arrangements in architecture. The opening of "Rural Architecture" lays the groundwork for the author's intentions and observations on American farm structures. Allen addresses the lack of practical advice within rural architecture, emphasizing the necessity for farmers to adopt better designs for their homes and outbuildings. He expresses a desire to aid farmers in transforming their dwellings into more tasteful and comfortable environments that reflect their social status and aspirations. The text highlights his belief in the connection between a well-designed home and the dignity of farm life, setting the stage for detailed discussions on styles, arrangements, and materials in the following chapters.
