Description
"Bricks and Brownstone was the first - and is still the only - book to examine in depth the varied architectural styles of the much-loved New York City row house, or "brownstone." When it first came out, and in several subsequent editions, Bricks and Brownstone helped pave the way for a brownstone revival that has transformed the very appearance of the city. No other book has so thoroughly delved into the ways of life of the nineteenth-century families who lived in these homes or has so authoritatively dealt with the development and growth of the historic and highly desirable row house neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn." "Boasting more than 300 color and black and white illustrations, this definitive volume examines in detail the Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire architectural styles of the early and mid-nineteenth century, as well as the Neo Grec, Romanesque, Renaissance Revival, and American Colonial Revival styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
