Thank you.
Hello,
If you read this page from top to bottom it says: The largest house for second-hand material in the world. Chicago Wrecking Co. etc. etc
This could have been a one page "flyer" or advertisement for the Company. If you type into a google search "Chicago House Wrecking Co." (caps not needed), there some sites you can look at.
The one I found most interesting is:
Harris Brothers, alias, The Chicago House-Wrecking Company
It has some good information in it. Anyway, you have a look. The last house (#J-181) picture is very interesting, and really looks as if it could be an "Arts & Crafts" house. There are a few clues - mostly the windows. Also the script used for the house plans.
Do you have just the one page? It doesn't look like a catalogue, but, as I say an advertising piece.
Sorry - Here's the live link:

That's better!
But I can't find this one catalog 64 pages I do belive

What is it you want exactly?
Is the page you posted the front of a manual?
How do you know it has 64 pages?
