Book Reviews of Victorian Cottage Architecture: An American Catalog of Designs, 1891
Book Review: Not a bad trip down memory lane
Summary: 3 Stars
As a Victorian Architecture buff, I'm hard pressed to give a distinct verdict on this book. It has great illustrations, offers general plans with dimensions for all of the designs, and gives a down and dirty description of each, but it seems to raise more questions than answers. If you are looking to discover what this type of architecture looked like, both in overall appearance and in selected details, then this is the book for you. If you are looking to discover how these things were built, then you are going to be slightly disappointed.
