Présentation de l'éditeur

This review of American Renaissance originally appeared as a series of papers in the Architects and Builders Magaziney and the interest shown in them as they were brought out and the later inquiry for these numbers of theM agazine have led the publisher to suggest the propriety of putting them in more permanent shape. With this in view the author has carefully collated the articles added some new illustrations and in some cases the plates have been enlarged where the subjects seemed worthy of fuller representation than was possible in the limited space allowed in theM agazine. The book is intended to be an impartial outline history of American domestic architecture from Colonial times to the present day and the salutary influence upon it of whatever has been good in past building epochs. How well the subject has been presented it remains for the readers of the following pages to judge. The A uthor.
