Great American Houses and Their Architectural Styles

The authors explore outstanding landmark houses that exemplify America's major architectural and interior design styles from Colonial times to the present. The 25 houses are illustrated with 350 specially commissioned color photographs of interior and exterior views (kudos to photographer Alex McLean), 125 bandw line drawings and floor plans, historical paintings, and vintage photographs. The text not only discusses the houses' architectural innovations and design elements but also profiles the architects and their clients. 10.25x10.25" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
