Product Description
Book Description
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.

This review is from: Saltbox and Cape Cod Houses (Hardcover)
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.

Poorly written by author with a bad attitude, Oct 16 2006
By David Durinzi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saltbox and Cape Cod Houses (Hardcover)
Don't waste your money if you're looking for any written help on Saltboxes or Capes. The photos are adequate but the author's attitude toward architects and builders is malevolent.
