Description
In the tradition of the Bungalow series, here is a marvelous celebration
of the twentieth century's most delightful and whimsical architectural style
Storybook Style, the rambunctious evocation of medieval Europe in
American housing, was born in the early 1920s and almost forgotten by the late
1930s. It took its inspiration from the Hollywood sets that enthralled Americans
of the period and that still appeal to our jaded modern eye. Half timbered and
turreted, pinnacled and portcullised, these houses owed their fanciful bravura
to architects and builders with theatrical flair, fine craftsmanship, and humor.
In Storybook Style, architectural information enhances the stunning color
pictures by Bungalow and Painted Ladies photographer Doug Keister to impart a
wealth of information and enjoyment.
