A Field Guide to American Architecture traces the fascinating development of architectural styles in the United States, from the simple wood houses of the seventeenth century to the steel and glass towers of our own day. This invaluable handbook describes the historical background, construction materials, and basic structures and styles(Colonial, Federal, Victorian, Greek Revival, Romanesque, to name just a few). The book is divided first by building function(residential, commercial, etc.)and then by specific architectural period. Technical terms are clearly defined throughout a text illustrated with examples from a unique and ongoing series of drawings of historic buildings, which was begun in the 1930s as part of a W. PA. project.
