The Diary of the House in the Woods, circa 1918

This collection consists of a single pamphlet titled "The Diary of the House in the Woods," which was published by the Lowe Brothers Company in Dayton, Ohio. The pamphlet is a combination of two people's diaries. Katherine McDowell and her husband Ned allowed their diaries to be published to explain the development of their house that they built and in which they lived in the woods. The diary entries begin in May of 1918 and continue through October of the same year. The couple also included some general advice on designing, finishing, and furnishing a home at the end of the pamphlet, and it also includes information about Lowe Brothers' products.
