"The most authoritative dictionary of the language spoken by the built environment . . . McAlester's book is excellent for the layperson who wants to wander about the neighborhood with a bit more authority, or perhaps for the homeowner who can't decide what kind of windows might look best. It's also useful to those of us who study preservation professionally, to bring our insistence that buildings are just as alive as plants--and just as worthy of careful, affectionate attention--into the broader cultural conversation about urban spaces. That conversation, in which the most mundane elements of building design are cast as characters in the story of a city, turns the streetscape into something greater than the brick and limestone it's made of. It's alive, noisy--and demands our close attention."  --Angela Serratore, The New York Times Magazine "Magisterial . . .

    Enjoyable if interested in Historical Homes

    Good book if one is interested in architecture or looking for information on a specific style of home. I enjoyed looking and learning about different designs and names give to each type of home. The photos are all black and white, but there are an amazing number of them!

    Best guide to American houses

    I had the original printing and it was fantastic. Wore the book out! Simple, concise drawings that tell you everything you might want to know about house styles in America. Side by side comparison pictures and drawings of houses and elements of houses from roof lines to window shapes and doors and elevations. Excellent guide to houses. You will know the difference between Queen Anne style to 2nd Empire to Cape Cod and everything in between. Highly recommend!
