Comments from our editors:
This fascinating book presents a series of 44 designs for vacation homes of varying styles and sizes, created over a century ago by a select group of New York and New Jersey architects.

Many of them are two-story, and most were intended to be built on low-to medium budgets. All of them reflect the ideals of comfort and charm and state-of-the-art technology of the Victorian era.

The Victorians, of course, enjoyed architectural embellisments, and it is part of the charm of this book to study the profusion of gables, porches, dormers, pinnacles and more, lavished on even the most modest designs.

A total of 900 illustrations, including perspective views, front and side elevations and first-and-second story floor plans.
