Great book for those doing a serious rebuild on an old home
8 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the book while rebuilding the front porch and columns on my 1904 home. It *is* a lot easier to take something apart if you know how it was put together. And we needed to re-create mouldings and millwork that was destroyed by previous property owners. This book shows how the "old masters" built these old houses.
I'm an old house purist. And this book has nearly 200 pages of detailed blue prints and drawings, giving excellent detail on how old buildings were assembled. (primarily residences) It satisfied that craving [us] purists get to make something the way it was made 100 years ago.
The drawings enabled us to *truly* restore the beautiful details of our old home.
The book has very *very* few words, but lots and lots of blueprints and drawings.

Fascinating!
20 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've enjoyed this book immensely. I find myself returning time after time to plan, to dream, to learn. It covers everything from staircases to fireproof doors to barns to an elegant summer cottage to outdoor furniture and barn raising lifts. Some of the items are, obviously, dated, but then isn't that the point? If you like design and history, you will enjoy this book.
