I’m fascinated by old houses and house styles and I’m a writer, so this would really come in handy for research.
What an interesting giveaway!
I love, love, love driving around and looking at houses. But I never know the proper terminology for anything.
I would gift this great book to my nephew.
I drive my husband nuts talking about houses as we pass by; now I can back up my yammering with pictures.
I love looking at homes and building and blueprints. Would love to have this book to study.
Oh I’m so excited for this one! My hubby and I will soon look for homes and knowing the terms would be great.
This looks like a wonderful book! Having all this information in one place would be great. Thanks for the chance to win. 🙂
Love anything to do with old houses.
I am extremely interested in Architecture of all homes. This is one exciting book.
what a great book! Here in Vancouver we are struggling to save heritage houses from demolition for development. I’d love to be able to identify the styles of the houses.
I live in near a city that has some old neighborhoods and I have always wondered what the different styles of building were called.
This looks awesome – if love to own this book!
Hurray for wonderful old designs! Thanks for a chance to see this book!
