This Revised Edition presents new photographs and line drawings, a concise, illustrated glossary, and accessible information on twenty–two major styles of American architecture from the past 300 years.

This essential guide is packed with more than 200 descriptive photographs and illustrations, accompanied by nontechnical explanations that help you quickly identify the most significant styles of architecture from Early Colonial, Federal, and Second Empire to Neoclassical, pre–Civil War Romanesque Revival, and late nineteenth– and early twentieth–century Rustic styles.
