Publisher's Synopsis
How To Build A Church is a book written by Charles LeRoy Goodell and originally published in 1883. The book is a comprehensive guide for building a church, covering everything from the planning and design stages to the construction and decoration of the building. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of church building. The first section covers the importance of planning and design, and provides guidance on selecting a site, choosing an architectural style, and creating a floor plan. The second section covers construction techniques, including the use of materials, the layout of the foundation, and the framing of the building. Subsequent sections of the book cover the installation of plumbing and electrical systems, the selection and installation of windows and doors, and the finishing touches that make a church building beautiful and functional. The book also includes a section on the legal and financial aspects of church building, including fundraising and securing permits and approvals. Throughout the book, Goodell emphasizes the importance of creating a building that is both functional and beautiful, and that reflects the values and beliefs of the congregation it serves. He provides detailed instructions and practical advice for every step of the building process, making the book an invaluable resource for anyone involved in church construction or renovation.With An Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
