The Co-operative Building Plan Association published designs prepared by an in-house staff of architects for nearly three decades (between 1881 and 1907). the co-op was run by Robert W. Shoppell and sought to bring artistic homes at an affordable price. at its peak the firm employed about 50 architects, who provided free consultation to the customer who purchased a Shoppell plan, priced in the range of 15 to 65 dollars. Shoppell's business intended to directly challenge the rising popularity of expensive custom-designed plans. the builders' portfolio was issued in three portfolios containing 100 designs each. Shoppell's designs were targeted to an audience of architects, builders, and real estate individuals and were intended to offer sufficient construction details and pricing to protect those professions from "making losing contracts".
