Reviewer: Terrance McKinch from Owosso, MI United States
Wow, was I surprised when I finally read this book. I had looked at all the
pretty pictures, (one on nearly every page) but with all the books I read, this
one took a back seat for awhile. I must say that in reading the book, what I
liked best, is that they kept it down to just five major houses. Ms. Brierton
not gives a good description for each house, she also included how it was acquired,
what was done to it and what is yet to be done to it. The people who restore
these homes are just like you and me. They are all trying to save money and
still have the finest restored "Victorian" home around. It was very
helpful knowing that the homes didn't necessary start out nice, but were
apartments houses or sometimes just very run down. This give me HOPE in
restoring my home. I like how she presents the homes as a restored yet live-able
addition to the neighborhood. Her reviewing different eras of homes helped also.
Mine is a very late Victorian . I would like to see a bit more information on
the "how to's" but she really has done a fine job. I heartily
recommend the book to anyone restoring an old "Victorian" home.
