This treasury of floor plans, elevations, and details of suburban
residences is an endless source of inspiration for artists,
architects, and historians alike. Eighty-one detailed illustrations
capture the elaborate beauty of Victorian-era cornices, staircases,
gables, verandas, doors, dormers, and more. A bonus section offers
construction guidelines for masons, bricklayers, and
carpenters.
Originally published in 1878, this now-rare collection of designs by a leading 19th-century architectural firm supplies views of a remarkable variety of modestly priced structures: suburban houses, villas, seaside and campground cottages, and many other buildings. The designs are presented in handsome drawings of perspective views and elevations, some of which include floor plans. Suggestions for interior decor include sideboards, newel posts, and entire suites of furniture. The result is an authentic treasury of Victorian design, sure to intrigue historians of architecture, home restorers, preservationists, and anyone who delights in the felicities of the American Victorian style. Unabridged reprint of the 1878 edition. Index. 98 b/w illustrations.
Hundreds of rare illustrations depict wide range of design
alternatives for prospective homeowners and other customers of the
late 19th century. While the collection includes elevations and
floor plans for a variety of handsome, private residences and
commercial structures, the emphasis is on architectural details --
from dormer windows to balconies.
