Review by Sarah E. Mitchell

Victorian City and Country Houses features house designs in the Second Empire, Bracketed, and even one rare "ornamental German." It also includes designs for finials, dormer windows, mantels, butler's pantry, boat landings, summer houses (gazebos), gates, porches, oriel windows, and many other architectural elements. A good source for those wishing to replicate vintage woodwork, as well as those interested in Victorian architectural design.
