Contains the details, photos that creates authentic style!,
By
This review is from: New Mexico Style: A Source Book of Traditional Architectural Details (Paperback)
Here's the major pluses of this book, one worth adding to a bookshelf on New Mexican style:1. Photos of authentic architectural details, many of them now gone or extinct, making this a valuable resource - and one that should be even more valuable in years to come. 2. An opportunity to see the interiors of several old and historic Santa Fe homes, with close-ups of such details as the fireplaces, tin and iron fixtures , doors, gates, window treatments, corbels, etc. 3. Historical information which provides added insight and perspective All of the above is more than enough to warrant a place on my bookshelf. Now, a few words about what this book is NOT: if you are looking for architectural layouts of homes, complete with specs, etc...this book is not what you want. But if you want a close look at the fine details that can make or break authentic New Mexican style- details such as Corbels, Portal Posts, Doors, Windows, alacenas, Railings, gates and mailboxes- this would be a wonderful addition to your library.

Particularly good for Santa Fe style details but has material appropriate for Territorial style as well, which makes it a good companion for "American Adobes" by Beverley Spears. Should not be criticized for lack of plans, as the title makes clear that this is a book strictly about details.
