About this product

Product Information

This fascinating book presents a series of 44 designs for vacation homes of varying styles and sizes, created over a century ago by a select group of New York and New Jersey architects. Many of them are two-story, and most were intended to be built on low-to-medium budgets. All of them reflect the ideals of comfort and charm and state-of-the-art technology of the Victorian period.The original publishers compiled a splendid variety of designs, presented them as seaside and country houses and included designs for a Victorian club house, pavilion, school house, and a small seaside chapel. A total of 200 illustrations - including perspective views, front and side elevations, and first- and second-story floor plans - depict these appealing designs. Occasionally the architects have specified construction materials and finishing details such as paint, colour, and trim, and in all cases they have included the overall anticipated costs, which range from about $500 to about $9,000.The Victorians, of course, loved architectural embellishments of every kind, and it is no small part of the charm of this book to study the profusion of gables, porches, portholes, dormers, porticoes, chimneys, pinnacles, and more, lavished on even the most modest designs. Above all, the houses and cottages appear to be both comfortable and reassuring, appealing reminders of a gracious age long gone. Those studying and working in the fields of architecture, history, and sociology will find in this wonderful book exuberant examples of a rich and charming architectural style. Those who wish to join the growing number of home builders and restorers re-creating Victorian homes will find inspiration in each of these thoughtful designs.
