Blumenson has called out stylistic details and architectural terms in the book's 214 chronological photographs. This guide will help you identify (and write about) not only homes, but also banks, churches and other buildings that may have puncuated your ancestors' town.--Sharon DeBartolo Carmack "Family Tree Magazine, October 2003 "
This guide enables the reader to identify various styles and architectural terms by comparing real buildings with the book's photographs. Intended primarily for tourists and travellers, it covers a wide variety of styles including Spanish, colonial, prairie, Georgian and international. The book also explores details such as rooves, porches, windows and chimneys. In order to provide the reader with a compact handbook, the text is kept to a minimum and only the exteriors of buildings are discussed. The emphasis throughout is on domestic architecture rather than museums, monuments or commercial and public buildings.
