American Builders Companion,

Written by Asher Benjamin,

liable that even today, many de-
Isigners duplicate unknowingly
its architectural details.
These covered wide range
Ond included designs for pIas-

tectural urns, and fire places.
Every part of the house. for
hat matter, with the exception
of the roof, was decorated with
rich form or color.
1t was not until almost 1OG
years after the publication Of
Benjamin'S book that America
was finally shown how it could
apply color to it roofs. This was
in 1910 when attempts were
made to dcvclopc more coIorfuI

cess, still going on, has created
more than two dozen brightly
