Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a number of Dover books and love them. This one, however, was very disappointing. It is basically an advertisement for books that were available back then, so it has incomplete plans, drawings, etc. If you like them, you can order them from......

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.
