Description

An exquisitely photographed number of the great houses and mansions of the South.
In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Historic Houses of the Hudson Valley and Great Houses of New England, Great Houses of the South includes a stunning array of newly photographed homes that range over three centuries and are distinctive examples of the architecture of the region. At the same time as in popular imagination the “Southern Style” is embodied in the classic Southern plantation house with its Greek Revival detailing—its stately white columns, wide porch, and symmetrical shape—the houses themselves are a lot more quite a lot of and engaging, as shown on this necessary volume. From stately Stanton Hall of Natchez, Mississippi, probably the most magnificent and palatial residences of antebellum The usa; to Longue Vue House and Gardens of New Orleans, the luxurious Classical Revival–style home of Edgar and Edith Stern; to the fabled Biltmore of Asheville, North Carolina, the opulent French Renaissance–inspired chateau and Gilded Age estate of George Washington Vanderbilt, this lavish volume is comprehensive in scope and a landmark work of enduring interest to homeowners, architects, architecture historians, and all folks that love fine architecture.
