With 470 eye-catching color photos and informative text, readers
are taken on a cross-country tour of towers, turrets, cupolas, and
belvederes found on homes, churches, and barns dating from the
nineteenth through the early twenty-first century. Towers are often
landmarks for cities. A tower or turret is particularly
eye-catching on a house or business and turns them into a
recognizable neighborhood landmark. Cupolas and belvederes are
functional embellishments that crown the roof. They offer access to
views, add dimension to the exterior, and further serve to bring in
light and ventilation. Both quadrilateral and octagonal cupolas and
belvederes are displayed. Added to the mix is a beautiful grouping
of widow's walks and parapets. Architects and designers will find
the range of shapes and adornment on these architectural features
both surprising and inspiring.
