American renaissance; a review of domestic architecture
Joy Wheeler Dow's 1904 survey of domestic architecture, issued in New York by W. T. Comstock for architects and builders arguing for Colonial and Georgian precedent in American houses. Halftone photographs show clapboard and stucco houses head-on through trees, with columned porticoes, dormers, shuttered windows, iron and picket fences, and gravel drives; useful for period facade details and soft grey photographic tone.
