Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book showcases the Edwards Manufacturing Company, an American enterprise that designed and built a range of metal structures, notably during the early decades of the 20th century. Recognized for the durability and economical nature of their products, the company gained prominence for their fireproof, quake-proof, and lightning-proof steel structures that were easily assembled and quickly erected, without the need for intricate connections or skilled labor. Using galvanized steel, the author illustrates a catalog of the companyâs products, including their All-Steel Buildings, designed as factories, warehouses, public garages, and airplane hangars; their All-Steel Multiple Garages, intended for rental purposes; their Steelcote Garages, framed with dressed yellow pine lumber and covered with sheets of galvanized steel, designed as an economical, yet semi-fireproof alternative to all-wood or all-steel garages; their All-Steel Meter Houses and Pump Houses, used in conjunction with power plants and oil fields; their Filling Stations, available in various models to suit different needs and budgets; and their Pump Shelters, designed to protect gasoline pumps from the elements. These structures were designed to be practical, functional, and economical, and were widely used across the United States, providing insights into the architectural trends and construction techniques of the early 20th century.
