Excerpt

This work presents an outline of American domestic architecture from the early colonial period to the late twentieth century. The influence of English and European architects and European models of architectural design is of particular interest. During the colonial period, architectural forms can be explained as an expression of traditional building practices imported from the home country. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, however, a preference for traditional English, French, and Spanish architectural forms must be defined by a nostalgia for historical forms that confers social status and family heritage.
