Book Reviews of Santa Barbara Style
Book Review: Santa Barbara Style
Summary: 5 Stars
It is great photography. Santa Barbara is my hometown and since I am away for prolong period of time now I purchased this book. Initially it was to be a present for someone else but by looking at the pictures I was able to enjoy Santa Barbara climate the photography captured so well. I could not bring myself to give away the book. I am keeping it, as it is so dear to my heart right now since it recreates the image as I remember and till I return to SB it will allow me to mentally visit the places I know. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in knowing the subject of this particular style of architecture.
Summary of Santa Barbara Style
Santa Barbara. For centuries this temperate, inviting locale has glowed with subtle but unmistakable light-- a beacon of warmth beside the profound blue of the Pacific. From the Chumash, whose predecessors can be traced to 11,000 b.c.e., to the present-day resident, vacationer, and tourist, diverse and countless peoples have been enchanted and enraptured by Santa Barbara's spell.In Santa Barbara Style, author Kathryn Masson and photographer James Chen, invoke this magic and invite us to walk with them through winding and abundant gardens, onto the grounds of grand estates, and into the great houses of this region. Here we find the work of such architectural luminaries as Addison Mizner, Bertram Goodhue, and Reginald D. Johnson. We wander from the historic adobe mansion Casa de la Guerra-- built in the early-nineteenth century by town patriarch Jose de la Guerra-- to the spectacular, and aptly named, Villa Lucia (House of the Light)-- built in 1989. We are given an intimate look at George Washington Smith's Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece, Casa del Herrero; and a broad view of Lotusland, the thirty-seven acre horticultural paradise. With each turn of the page, we see the beauty, grace, and style of Santa Barbara.
