UNDER CONSTRUCTION
At the moment (01 Dec.'12), we are attempting in the STYLES SECTION :
1) To tidy-up and add additional pictures and text to the existing sites.
2) We are also adding new sites complete with pictures and text.
When we are finished there should be around 80 different style pages!
*****
It is also our intention, over time, to add other sections that will cover areas like:
1) RECOGNIZING HOUSES:
2) KNOWING THE 'PARTS' THAT COMPRISE A HOUSE (e.g. the roof or facade).
3.) UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE MANY DISTINCTIVE TYPES OF 'PARTS'. (e.g. The roof may be gable, mansard, flat, etc.)
Many styles elate to a single type of roof (e.g. The Dutch Colonial Revival rarely uses anything other than a 'gable' roof.)
4) 'GROUPS' OF HOUSES (e.g. Several styles have as their base style the Georgian).
5) ORIGINS OF HOUSES (e.g. England, France, U.S. or home grown.
(6) BEST PLACES TO LOCATE SPECIAL HOMES (e.g. Vansittart Street in Woodstock, Ontario.)
(7) Reasons for 'Building Watching'.
(8) Contacting the author (who appreciates your input).
The list goes on and on !!
