illustrate in a single volume the form, character, scale and
proportion, and ornament of American Federal Style structures built
in New England from 1780-1820. Using accurately measured drawings and
photographs of historic houses, as well as period pattern books, they
have created about 300 detailed and elegant line drawings, which are
presented here with information about measurements, proportions, and
sources. The book is organized into sections that include cornices,
window and door casings, chair rails, baseboards, mantels, and
fences. Architects, interior designers, preservationists, and anyone
who is interested in the details of Federal Style architecture will
find this a valuable resource.
