Saltbox and Cape Cod Houses

By Stanley Schuler

Book Overview

Here is a new, larger edition of a classic reference. From its origins on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the seventeenth century, this charming and practical style of house has been transplanted and modified to accommodate varying life styles from as far away as Hawai i. Stanley Schuler has brought together the architectural history of the Cape Cod House with many floor-plans and photographs to be studied and enjoyed by all who live in, restore, or want to build their own Cape Cod House. Examples range from the tiny single style to double, triple, modified and "modern" interpretations--all of which were practical at the time they were built.

Customer Reviews

a gorgeous book

If you like salt box and colonial homes, this is a beautiful book full of color photos and floor plans of some of the prettiest homes one has ever seen from a long bygone era. Perfect to give someone who wants to restore an old home or build one of their own. The book is worth it just for the photos. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful pictorial reference

A photographic chronical of Saltbox and Cape Cod houses from Colonial times to the present day. A good idea book for anyone intending to build either style house.
