520 _a"The Story of the House" by Orman Wesley Ketcham is a guidebook on architectural design and brickwork written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide suggestions and ideas for constructing aesthetically pleasing and functional homes, focusing on the use of brick and terra-cotta materials. It serves as both an inspiration for architects and builders, and as a practical resource for those interested in improving their home environments. The content of the book is divided into three parts, with the first part narrating the essence and beauty of a well-designed house. Ketcham incorporates numerous poetic excerpts that celebrate residential architecture, linking emotion and aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. The subsequent sections present various forms of molded brick as well as terra-cotta materials, outlining their uses in enhancing fireproofing and ornamental details. Through illustrations and detailed descriptions, the book emphasizes the transformative potential of thoughtful architectural choices, advocating for designs that reflect individual character while ensuring durability and safety.
