Part of a series that places buildings within their historical context, this text considers three Arts and Crafts buildings: Hill House, Helensburgh in Scotland; The Homestead, Frinton-on-Sea in Essex; and Gamble House in Pasadena, California. It includes specially produced technical drawings that explain how the buildings were detailed and put together. The text explains that by studying the three buildings together the reader can determine the architectural similarities and shared influences along with the larger historical and geographical context.

Seller: Hennessey + Ingalls, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. These houses are masterpieces of domestic Arts and Crafts architecture and among the best preserved examples. Hill House is a unified aesthetic conception -- combining Arts and Crafts honesty with Art Nouveau decoration and distinctly Scottish elements. The Homestead is one of Voysey's finest achievements: a private house but also one built for entertaining. The Gamble House is the enoblement of the California bungalow image, yet a building of striking intimacy. These commissions share similarities -- they were each undertaken for powerful local figures -- but also possess unique characteristics; by looking at them together, one can decipher common Arts and Crafts predilections and examine the different responses of the architects to individual circumstances. Book has minor shelf wear. Slight scratching/scuffing on front and back of cover. Seller Inventory # 226020
