Book Description
The colorful panoply of residential architecture from early colonial days through the twentieth century is richly illustrated in this handsome, evocative volume, which pays tribute to the immense creativity and craftsmanship of our ancestors across the continent. Rugged pioneer homes, classic saltbox cottages, whimsical Victorian "painted ladies," lavishly endowed mansions, and functional, clean-lined Prairie houses are just some of the styles explored in these pages.
