Domestic Solar Energy: A Guide for the Home Owner
Why, in the middle Twentieth Century, did American neighborhoods and suburbs swell with tracts full of "ranch houses" that obviously never got near the Bar L? Can you identify the styles that replaced the Ranch? Is there really a difference between "Victorian" and "Queen Anne" home styles, be they standalone or town (row) houses? If people speak of the "Italianate influence" in a 19th Century house, what do they mean?
Here's a great way to load up on these terms and how housing styles look, in quite an entertaining way: In any of its iterations, Virginia McAlester's A FIELD GUIDE TO AMERICAN HOUSES is a welcome staple. Find out about the various styles of U.S. architecture, from Colonial to Modernist and beyond, and elaborations both fancy and vernacular. Representative photographs make this an irresistible -- and foundational -- volume to have, be the reader a student of U.S. history, a devotee of architecture, someone who'd like to commission a home, or even a budding real-estate agent needing to know where all these "styles" came from. Buy the hardbound version if you can afford it; it will last. But make sure Virginia McAlester is the author or co-author.
