This classic had been sitting in a Maryland remote storage facility for nearly 30 years when it was discovered by the staff of the heritage Commission. The author chronicles his 60-year career in architectural design and restoration. It is a summary of a wealth of architectural insight which he has gleaned from years of experience. This is a delightful book, full of illustrations and information which every architect and restorationist should have to carry out his or her task in a more craftsmanship-like manner. It is an invaluable tool to anyone restoring an old building. It is intended to be a working reference book with detailed measured drawings which can be adapted to various building situations. Through a reading of this book, even a novice can develop an appreciation and understanding for our architectural heritage. A labor of love, the late Mr. Bennett designed the layouts and did the paste-ups of each page.
