Review of Restoring House of Brick and Stone
This book has one of the most thorough treatments of masonry techniques I've encountered. It covers subjects for which information often proves difficult to find, e.g. restoration of antique stone fireplaces. It has lots of detail yet covers a wide range of pertinent subjects. All this and the author has a readable style and interesting stories. I would enjoy meeting...

not specifically stone/brick house restoration
Although this is a nice picture book, it doesn't really deal with the restoration of stone houses per-se. Some info. on interior restoration which applies equally well to frame houses, some sketchy information on general building with masonry. HOWEVER, if you're specifically looking for a reference on repairs/restoration of structural stone/brick problems, look...

By Thomas T. Amlie (Cold Brook, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restoring Houses of Brick and Stone (Paperback)
Although this is a nice picture book, it doesn't really deal with the restoration of stone houses per-se. Some info. on interior restoration which applies equally well to frame houses, some sketchy information on general building with masonry. HOWEVER, if you're specifically looking for a reference on repairs/restoration of structural stone/brick problems, look elsewhere. I've got a stone/brick house with bowed walls, collapsed foundation, collapsed arches above windows, etc., and none of these items was touched upon in the remotest fashion. If you're searching for something similar to what I'm looking for, look elsewhere. If you find something good, LET ME KNOW!!!

Lacking real insight,
By "kampkrusty" (kanata, ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restoring Houses of Brick and Stone (Paperback)
I was looking for a book that got into real details on how stone was quarried as well as on real construction techniques. My interest in in local buildings from the 1800's in the eastern US/Canada area. For me I find more value in books from Charles McRaven. And am still looking for a good book on historic techniques on quarrying, working with & building with stone. No need to waste your hard earned $$ on this one. |
