“A folio of over two hundred pages, whose plates exhibit the best features of nearly fifty American country-places, scattered from Maine to California and from Massachusetts to North Carolina. The owners’ and architects’ names are generally given, and a plan of the estate often supplements the pictures of its most attractive aspects. All of the houses are of the more pretentious kind of country-seat, such as ‘Blair Eyrie’ at Bar Harbor and ‘Biltmore’ at Asheville; but they are artistic rather than showy, and prospective builders may get many hints from the book, even though they may be working on a much smaller and less ambitious scale.”—Dial.
“Mr. Donn Barber packs into three pages a tremendous amount of information about the status and development of American architecture and landscape gardening, and puts the reader in the way of appreciating and profiting by the pictures.”
