This book identifies with immaculate accuracy every type, variety and hybrid of American house. It illustrates how distinct architectural traditions (English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish) were cross-bred with distinct architectural periods (Classic, Victorian, Beaux Arts, Modern) and blended with folk traditions, regional demands and local politics to produce a style that can be identified as uniquely American. Some 320 line illustrations, as many as three per page of both interiors and exteriors, accompany the straightforward text.
[Diane Rapaport]

If you are designing a house, there is no way your design will remain unchanged by a browse through this wonderful book.
