| Summary | "Convenient Houses, With Fifty Plans for the Housekeeper" by Louis H. Gibson is a practical guide focused on architectural design and domestic efficiency, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intelligent interplay between architecture and effective housekeeping, discussing how thoughtfully planned homes can contribute to ease of daily living. With a central emphasis on constructing houses that balance aesthetic appeal, practicality, and convenience, it offers insight into creating spaces that meet the needs of housekeepers. The opening of the book sets the stage for its educational approach, introducing the connection between the architect and housekeeper. Gibson stresses the importance of understanding housekeeping principles while designing homes, arguing that the layout can significantly impact daily chores and overall comfort. He touches upon topics such as the significance of compact house designs for efficiency and the considerations necessary for planning various domestic spaces. Through this initial perspective, the author lays a foundation for the subsequent detailed analysis of specific house plans and building practices that follow in the text.
