Description

Benjamin designed this work as a practical handbook for architects and carpenters. It was largely responsible for the Greek Revival style which spread throughout the East. This is a basic text for the period and presents designs for windows, columns, fences, vases, balusters, shutters, moldings, staircases, and much more. This was a very influential book in its day.
