Summary:
Though is name is forever linked with the many stately Gothic villas he designed, Alexander Jackson Davis was not content to align himself with just one style of architecture. From classicism to Italianate to what he dubbed the Rustic-Cottage style, Davis's designs were suitable to all Americans, from the working class to the idle rich. Long before the concept would become mainstream, Davis operated as the first mail-order architect. Here, in this short-form book, is his seldom-told story.
