Trade catalog of completed schoolhouses designed by Kump and built in different localities throughout central California. Kump favored one-story elementary schools and two-story high schools, built mostly in the Spanish style appropriate to the climate. By 1920 he had designed over 30 school buildings and was obviously the right man in the right place. In his later career, until his death in 1939, he designed more than 30 private residences many of which, unlike the schools, are extant, but not shown here. First edition. 35 cm; pp. 32 (printed recto only), 16 (ads); illustr. from photographs, plans, and drawings. Light wear to bottom of spine and to overlapping edges of wrappers; else very good in string-bound embossed wrappers.
