Description

Queen Anne or Victorian, these beautiful houses have become nostalgic sites in our historical memory.

Linda Smeins explores the development of pattern-book houses, considered the new 'modern suburban home' of the late 19th century.

Through a discussion of pattern-book designs and plans and pattern-book-inspired houses, Smeins traces the evolution of this architectural style and explores the meanings embodied in the notion of home and community.

Building an American Identity is an excellent resource for architectural historians, historic preservations, educators and anyone interested in the social history behind the building of America's Victorian homes.
