Rarely does the visitor have an opportunity to see this harmonious blend of elegance and simplicity which is the Mexican house at its best. In this handsome volume, Warren and Verna Cook Shipway, authorities on domestic architecture, take the reader across the threshold for a close look at the Mexican house. Here is the Mexican house in detail: corredores overlooking pleasant patios; bee-hive fire-places blooming with pink and yellow paper flowers in handsome jardinieres; richly painted carvings of saints on coffee tables, or in corner niches; subtly shaded tiles on kitchen walls and patio floors; 18th century lacquer-work chests; Queen Anne style chairs, adapted by Indian artisans to a Mexican idiom; ornately paneled doors; latticed windows; bright colors and soft lighting. Richness and variety, bold design and delicate detail—all these are essentials of the Mexican house. The modern Mexican house has evolved slowly and gracefully, and many important architectural and decorative elements of today's house are a heritage from the past.

Warren Shipway is a graduate engineer of Princeton. Mrs. Shipway attended the Ecole Spéciale d' Architecture in Paris and the School of Architecture at Columbia University. Mr. and Mrs. Shipway are the authors of The Mexican House Old and New.…
