SynopsisCreole houses, found from New Orleans to northern Louisiana, are one of the nation’s unique architectural treasures. A blend of French and Spanish colonial styles, with West Indian, Canadian, and other influences, these lovely houses were astutely designed to withstand their sultry, subtropical environment. Significantly, most major examples withstood the devastating hurricanes of 2005. No other book of photography evocatively examines the development of this singular American style, embracing architecture and interior decoration, which thrived from the early eighteenth through the mid-nineteenth century.Creole Housesoffers an appreciation of Creole culture as seen through its historic homes and celebrates not only a memorable way of life, but the history, and the unique sensibility, that produced it., Creole houses, found from New Orleans to northern Louisiana, are one of the nation's unique architectural treasures.

Creole Houses is a great book
This is a great and thorough book. It doesn't go into so much detail that it becomes tiring; it's just right. And the photos are fantastic.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
