Architecturally unique, New Orleans has been called the greatest
outdoor museum in the world. Glimpses of history can be found in
the balconies, arches, and stained-glass windows of its homes, from
simple Creole cottages to suburban ranch houses. Written as a
house-watchers guide, New Orleans Houses enables the layperson to
estimate the date of a houses construction, within ten to fifteen
years, and to place it in a historical time frame by studying its
architectural details. The author discusses each building style in
the context of the major events, personages, and issues of the
period during which the buildings were erected. Over 100
illustrations, including drawings of existing New Orleans homes as
well as composite sketches, highlight the characteristics commonly
associated with certain types of homes, making New Orleans Houses
as much an art book as it is a reference guide. A glossary
clarifies the sometimes-confusing terminology used in discussing
architecture. It also defines words peculiar to New Orleans
architecture such as Creole and faubourg.
