Book Description
Contains an overview of the origin of the style in Great Britain and its American interpretation. In examining the style in Canada, it begins with the efforts made by Canadian architects to adapt it to a new and often difficult habitat. The preponderant number of domestic examples reflects the popularity of the style for residential construction. It also examines its influence on institutions, resort buildings, apartments, and commercial constructions.
