A record of the 17th-19th-century middle-sized houses occupied by the the middle class/minor gentry. The style of these homes bridged the gap between indigenous building and imported English and other European influences. Incorporating features of all, they illustrate a continuity in building practice linking the great with the small and the remoter centuries with the recent past. Arranged by architectural features and with a section on nomenclature. A second section, arranged chronologically, illustrates the buildings themselves. An excellent visual and historic reference about houses both vanished and still standing.
