Holly's Picturesque Country Seats

Author: Henry H. Holly
Pages: 171
Cover: Softbound

Item #: BK564
Price: $12.95
In this important and influential work in the history of American architecture, New York City architect Henry Hudson Holly urged designers of mid-19th century domestic architecture to draw upon classical elements--when appropriate--from a variety of sources. This new reprint of Holly's celebrated work presents 34 complete designs for comfortable country homes and other buildings, many of which incorporated the traditional features he desired. A knowledgeable and extensive commentary on architectural styles, construction materials, building features, cost estimates and other relevant matters accompanies the detailed illustrations. Also included are interesting narratives on such subjects as the building of an ice house, how to remodel an old mill and much more.
