Great Houses of N. England by Roderic Blackburn & Geoffrey Gross, Signed 1st Ed

About the Item

Great Houses of New England by Roderic Blackburn, Text and Geoffrey Gross, Photography. Rizzoli, NY, 2008. Signed by the author 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. In the tradition of Rizzoli's Historic Houses of the Hudson Valley and The Houses of McKim, Mead & White, Great Houses of New England features a stunning array of newly photographed houses that range over four centuries and are distinctive examples of the architecture of the region--from the mid-17th-c New England Colonial Judge Corwin House (Witches House) in Salem, MA., and the 18th-c Jeremiah Lee Mansion in Marblehead, MA., to the late-19th-c McKim, Mead & White Shingle-Style Isaac Bell House in Newport, R.I. With lavish photography of sumptuously appointed interiors including many rarely seen rooms, wonderfully detailed house exteriors and gardens, and authoritative text by architectural historian Roderic H. Blackburn, Great Houses of New England comprehensively considers the magnificent building styles of the region--including Early New England Colonial, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Shingle Style, Colonial Revival, and Tudor. Great Houses of New England is a landmark work of enduring interest to homeowners, architects, architecture historians, and all those who love fine architecture and interiors.
