SYNOPSIS: This book looks at the many architectural styles being used in America during the Victorian era. From small rural cottages, to stately manor homes, this book illustrates the many ways details and styles from the past influenced the buildings of the 1800s. But more than floor plans, the author shows layout of the homes on lots, as well as accompanying garden plans and plantings. It also explores the reasoning behind the design, such as river beds and slopes of the landscape to take advantage of the view. Some rustic, some formal and ornate, there are cottages for varying levels of income, and some designed specifically for certain occupations. A fun and informative resource for the historical writer.
