Description
Summary:"William T. Baker's work is inspired by the bounty of classical architecture found in the grand homes of the southern United States, particularly Georgia. The hallmarks of his architecture are his extraordinary attention to the finer details of craftsmanship and construction, and his keen eye for scale and proportion." "The twenty-eight projects presented in this volume encapsulate the first two decades of William T. Baker's career and give the reader a glimpse into the lives of these modern American families. Blending seamlessly into historic neighborhoods, these new 'old houses' are outstanding achievements in timeless, permanent architecture that resists modern shortcuts and easy solutions."--BOOK JACKET.
