Format:Taschenbuch
I write about old houses for newspapers and magazines and found this book to be an *excellent* reference work. Sometimes, writers rely on other's descriptions of old house styles but this book enables a laymen to go find out the *RIGHT* name for an old house and its appendages. Well laid out and good photos and drawings. Great resource.
Format:Taschenbuch
I highly recommend this book as a reference guide for anyone interested in the history of architecture in the U.S. It consists mostly of photos from all over the country depicting the styles of architecture and the variations within that style. Excellent reference for identification of individual buildings as well as an overview of the styles seen in particular areas of the country.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a keeper book! I keep going back to it month after month. It has home styles as they came thru history grouped by style. It has pictures of house features that help identify what style a home is. It has lots of pictures. The only weakness I can think of is it does not have a lot of information on Home-styles being built right now. AntBiscuit@cs.com
