The Architecture of Country Houses: Including Designs for Cottages, and Farmhouses, and Villas, With Remarks on Interiors, and Furniture. Country homes in this context means detached, rather than row, houses.Throughout the early Victorian period, American architecture was dominated by the ideas and designs of Andrew Jackson Downing, America's first landscape architect, who was instrumental in establishing a well-styled, efficient, yet low-priced house that offered many features which previously only mansions could provide.
His most important work, The Architecture of Country Houses, served as the style book for tens of thousands of homes throughout the eastern United States.
It contains 34 designs for model homes including floor plans, elevations and discussion of design, construction and function.
