<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Previous Dover edition published in 1988.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Here are detailed drawings, floor plans, elevations, specifications, and vintage cost estimates for twenty distinctive Victorian structures, ranging from a humble cottage to an ornate brick villa. They have been reproduced from a rare 1869 publication of <i>Woodward's National Architect, </i> a publication directed to builders, carpenters, and masons of the Victorian era.<br>Each of these highly individual and appealing structures has been meticulously rendered in a landscaped perspective view along with front and side elevations, first- and second-floor plans, and close-up sections. With more than 580 black-and-white illustrations, the text provides directions for finishing trim, baseboards, and wainscoting; completing brick and plaster work; constructing chimneys, cesspools, and cisterns; and much more. With its wealth of authentic detail, <i>A Victorian Housebuilder's Guide</i> is a valuable resource for restorers, preservationists, builders, and anyone interested in the era's architecture.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>George E.
