My architect referred to the previous edition of this guide often during the renovation of my home. The new version proves without a doubt that the author is one of the nations foremost authorities on architecture. There are so many beautiful illustrations that help people who learn visually like me. link terms with the actual architectural elements. The new guide has been updated to include all styles up to the present day. Not only is this book a must for students of architecture. but anyone who owns a house. is interested in buying a house. or is in the industry. Truly a masterpiece.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. For Anyone Curious about HousesBy Marjie. Mother of 9My dearly beloved is a big fan of houses. He loves to study the architecture and details of housing everywhere we go. So. when I saw this book reviewed in the Wall Street Journal. I knew it would be perfect for him. At the beginning of the book. there are charts with diagrams to help the reader identify the type of house he/she is looking at. For example. a sketch of a roof with a 2 or 3 word description. and the book recommends looking at one or more type of house to see which it is. However. its also very good for reading. with chapters on the layouts of early towns and so forth. There is also a section on the housing used by various Native American groups. Each chapter about a style of houses includes a few pages of history. etc. before sketches. details about characteristics of the type. and photos of actual houses of each style from various parts of the country. Good for a long reading session. but its also a fast and easy reference for when you just want to know what youve just seen.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding reference bookBy Miss V.I love old houses so this review is based on that fact only (not an architectural student). This book is wonderful. It discusses and illustrates the styles of houses in the early days of our country to the present. There are detailed descriptions along with a plethora of photographs of all types of houses. my favorites being the Queen Anne. Tudor. and Gothic Revival (just a personal preference.) I think this is an amazing reference book. I would recommend it to anyone that loves old houses. In my case. because I was unfamiliar with a lot of the technical terms in McAlesters book. I also bought "Old House Dictionary". which helped immensely. Love this book.
