More
than 100 magnificent home plans provide lovers of Victoriana with
the finest examples of period architecture. Included are plans for
a six-room ornamental cottage for $1,500; an elegant Elizabethan
villa, with entry hall, library, china closet and five bedrooms,
for $27,000; and an ornate Gothic suburban residence, with parlor,
sitting room, dressing rooms, six bedrooms and two bathrooms (the
lack of bathrooms in most floor plans is a reminder of the time
period represented by these designs). Compiled by Isaac Hobbs, a
prominent Philadelphia architect, the books also offers an informative
discussion on the principles and practices of home design and construction
of the period.
