During the Gilded Age, "Shoppells Modern Mail order Home Catalogue showcased the Classical design of the Victorian home as an avant-garde in the era's great technology known as indoor plumbing and central heating.

 

In McGuffey"s Modern home Catalogue we playfully contrast the hand-drawn, vividly described pages with Granville's CAD-generated plans and today's bland advertising language.

​

ex: In 1887, "to paint a Victorian is a tale of foolishness, brute force, ignorance, stupidity, and terror...the ultimate joy."

Two people standing in front of any house.

 

Do you see that house?​

​

Yes, I do.

​

Do you think someone designed and built it?

​

Why of course.

​

How do you know? do you know the architect or builder?

​

No, I don't.

​

Then how do you know someone built it?

​

Because it's there and I can see it!

​

The same holds True for everything you see around you!

​

"Every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of                                                       Everything"

Hebrews 3:4
