Description:
Glasgow : David Bryce and Son., 1896. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 15.5" by 11.5". Thomas Fairbairn. A collection of drawings by Thomas Fairbairn. These drawings indicate some of the fascinating architecture and beautiful picturesque scenes in Glasgow.

With accompanying text by James Pagan and James H Stoddart. Loosely inserted are several colour prints of Fairbairn's works printed in 1982. In a full cloth binding with gilt stamping to the spine and to the front board. Externally, generally smart with bumping to the head and tail of spine and to the extremities. Small patches of light rubbing to the extremities and to the head and tail of spine. Evidence of label removal to the recto of front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with the occasional light spots. Very Good Indeed

Casa del HerreroHouse of the Blacksmithstands today as one of the most fully developed and intact examples of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. It was designed and built between 1922 and 1925 as a second house for George Fox Steedman, a St. Louis industrialist. Thought principally to be the work of George Washington Smith, the architect, Steedman himself generated many ideas during the initial design phase that were both a blessing and curse to Smith. Steedmans vision prevailed, and throughout the decade following the houses initial completion, he continued to rework both house and garden, engaging the architects Lutah Maria Riggs, Edwards, Plunkett & Howell, and Floyd Brewster, and garden… Read More

New Orleans architecture as it was, is, and should be. A stunning presentation of 19th-century gouache and watercolor archival paintings of New Orleans neighborhoods, this volume presents what old, renovated, restored, and new buildings not only might look like, but how they should look. An educational tool, architectural pattern book, city planner's handbook, and visual treasure, this resource invites its readers to study the footprints of the city's original edifices in order to rebuild and restore with authenticity. Examples of each New Orleans house type, historic plans for each house, and contemporary adaptive-use floor plans are highlighted.
