The Decoration of Houses (Classical America Series in Art and Architecture)by Edith Wharton
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The original text of The Decoration of Houses continues without revision as an authentic classic, perhaps the most important book of its kind ever published.

This expanded edition includes an introduction by Henry Hope Reed and three critical essays by John Barrington Bayley, William A. Coles, and Alvin Holm, AIA. Additions to the album of renderings and photographs of modern and contemporary work in the tradition of Wharton and Codman include a number of important works done in the last decade or so. A portfolio of color plates new to the expanded edition offers the work of such accomplished photographers as Bill Ray and Anne Day.
