Striking array of photographs depicts interiors and exteriors of elegant homes in a variety of architectural styles, with detailed views of decorative chimney caps and fireplace mantels, cornices, gardens, and pools.

Lovely photographs present exterior and interior views of 51 classic homes, primarily in the metropolitan area of New York City, as well as other suburbs on the east coast and in California. A variety of distinctive architectural styles are depicted, from a simple Long Island Dutch colonial to an elegant Spanish villa in California with courtyard and terrace. Floor plans as well as interior and exterior views display an array of striking arrangements: central buildings with flanking wings and pavilions, arched passageways, kitchens with pantries, sun porches, servants' rooms, and even a "men's dining room"; while photographs depict such architectural details as sweeping staircases, gardens and pools, and decorative cornices, chimney caps, and fireplace mantels. An ideal reference for preservationists and home restorers, this volume will delight enthusiasts of gracious architecture of the 1920s.

An Affordable Collection of Seldom Seen or Known Grand Residences
A Large format volume of Photos, Architectural drawings of many Grand homes of that time period - MOST of which are forever Gone, subjected to the ravages of Time, Money, and the so-called "Progress of Man." I take great 'architectural Interest' in the construction, Styles, and exquisite Execution of such lost Grandeur where now even huge Commercial Structures of that Period are falling to Time and the elements, never to return in Such Grand Style. This is a Huge collection of Private residences of intense fascination - where now only a Handful of these great Homes are granted Any sort of "preservation"... that CAN be Viewed today... Highly Recommended for Historical value, Style & Design Value.. with short histories of many of these fabulous structures!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
