DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Newport Blue. Beautiful. Chris Cross said Well-done monograph. A beautifully-produced book of exquisite traditional dwellings. Wonderful photography and line drawings.

But that's just me being greedy.. G. Beekman said MASTERPIECE! Stunning book - simply a must have. This book is a must for anyone remotely interested in classic American residential or destinguished interior design.
