A History of the English House has been regarded as the standard work on the subject since its original publication in 1931. The book is a 1975 paperback reprint of the 1931 book. As a research resource, the book is valuable for the inclusion of many historic buildings which have been altered or demolished since 1931. It is divided into two parts. The first part traces the development of the English house from the 11th to the early 19th century. The second part examines physical aspects of the English house (exterior and interior wall treatments, entrances, windows, ceilings, staircases, etc.). The second part is richly illustrated with examples. The book is an invaluable resource for students of English architecture as well as for preservationists and architects working on historic buildings.
