Restoring Houses of Brick and Stone is the definitive guide to all facets of the frustrating, expensive, and supremely satisfying business of restoring and rehabilitating old stone houses. Nigel Hutchins' deep appreciation of period homes and buildings and his down-to-earth rationale for their preservation are readily apparent in this practical, indispensable guide. This book traces the fascinating history of the masonry structure from its beginnings in Egypt and provides detailed information, illustrated with delightful period photographs, on house styles, construction methods, the manufacture of brick, and the quarrying of stone. Hutchins also informs readers how to choose a house worthy of restoration and how to inspect, repair, and expand their pre-1930s houses, with specific details on fireplaces, chimneys and stoves, and masonry used in landscaping. Packed with history, ideas, and useful information, and complemented by over 300 black-and-white and color photos, easy-to-follow diagrams, and superb pen-and-ink drawings, Restoring Houses of Brick and Stone provides a gallery of new ideas for the old house restorer.
