These words are from A Monthly Bulletin, a magazine published, with the support of the Brewing Industry, in the interests of public house improvement. Between the wars many millions were spent on rebuilding and reconditioning the 'pub.\" The reproach of \"brewer's Tudor' fell behind with the twenties; by the thirties the pub was becoming not merely respectable but positively institutional. In reaction against an unhappy immediate past, something may have been suppressed, something truly domestic, truly national just as when you are in a luxury liner' you may forget that it is primarily a ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1939 building came to a full stop. Since then there have been innumerable 'blue prints,' plans and 'planning'— of necessity academic and theoretical. The time has come to start again in the round. What in fact is the post-war pub going to be like? Hence the importance of this special number of THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW and of its competition for designs of public house rooms. Since wholesale building may still be a long way off, the interior of the pub is here wisely given first place. The approach is traditional; it begins in the past, so as to produce and examine what was best in the old pub style-pious work on a neglected subject. The aim is to ensure that the post-war pub is a pub first and an institution second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe competition is backed by the Brewers' Society and will command the attention of the six hundred or so breweries who own the vast majority of public houses and who will have to commission and pay for the work which will one day start again.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gin Palace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pub and the People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tradition Broken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tradition Reborn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Functional Tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetition for the Interior Design of the Modern Public House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions to be answered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarginalia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrespondence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eGood.
