An excellent resource for lovers of Victorian architecture,
This review is from: Victorian City and Country Houses: Plans and Details (Dover Architecture) (Paperback)
"Victorian City and Country Houses: Plans and Details," by Geo. E. Woodward, is a visually rich window into the architecture of the late 19th century. This book is an unabridged reprint of a volume originally published in 1877 under the title "Woodward's National Architect, Vol. II."This book contains floor plans and elevations (both front and side) for both row houses and stand-alone houses. One fascinating aspect of this book is the inclusion of plans for the basements and attics, in addition to those for the primary floors. Also included are designs for gazebos and other structures. You will see many of your favorite Victorian era architectural elements in this book: towers, covered porches, mansard roofs, and more. A series of detail pages focus on some specific decorative elements: dormer windows, balusters, finials, roof cresting, etc. Overall, an excellent book.

My life long affair with Victorian Archietecture,
By
This review is from: Victorian City and Country Houses: Plans and Details (Dover Architecture) (Paperback)
has led me to this facinating and compelling book. Although I'm certain there are simmilar books out on the market, this was the one that I first picked up. Prior to this time, I had been looking at home planning magazines in a vain attempt for needed inspiration. Even if you do not own a home or are planning in the near future, this book is too good to pass up.

Complete,

This review is from: Victorian City and Country Houses: Plans and Details (Dover Architecture) (Paperback)
From Basement to Attic this book gives the reader full coverage on the structures it covers. All floors and all sides Plus.
A must have for any interested in the homes of this period. No library of the subject of Victorian architecture is complete with out it.
