Vintage Home Books and Floor Plans - Victorian - Georgian - Greek Revival - More

Description: "Victorian Cottage Residences" by Andrew Jackson Downing - Downing (1815-1852) was the first great American landscape gardener, was one of the earliest and most influential popularizers of something new on the American scene--the small, inexpensive detached house. Into a countryside dotted with log cabins and occasional Greek Revival mansions he introduced the tasteful, efficient cottage residence in all its variations, including Gothic, bracketed, Italianate, and 'rustic'. His enormously successful books spread the gospel to thousands of home buyers and many of his fellow architects--Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and others--and none was more successful than "Cottage Residences", one of the most widely used books in American architectural literature. First published in 1842, the book went through many editions before the 1873 edition, reprinted here, which contains for the first time the valuable additions of Henry Winthrop Sargent and Charles Downing. It is here that the author presents 26 different cottage designs with view, floor plans, textual description, and occasionally, garden layouts. Among the different houses included are a suburban cottage, a cottage in the Tudor style, a villa in the Italian style, a villa in the Gothic style, a side hill cottage, a stone cottage, and more. There are also designs for a small rural church and Italian gardens. The 155 illustrations allow the reader to see for himself exactly what the designs entail.
