More Mansion Than Cottage.......2007-01-25
The title of this publication is a little misleading. While it displays elevation and perspective views of many buildings along with their floor plans, the vast majority of those buildings are of the larger, mansion variety, and not the smaller cottages it refers to in its title. It is very lean in detail drawings along with descriptions, and is non-existent when it comes to sectional views. It will not help you when it comes to information on how to build one of these plans, but it will tell you what it will look like when you are done.
Great Book of Victorian House and Duplex Plans.......2000-04-08
This book is full of great illustrations and plans for victorian houses of the late 1800's, many perspective views and some detail drawings. Great to look at and perfect if you plan to build a traditional victorian home or duplex and need some ideas.

Victorian Glory.......2003-08-13
When I visit a strange town, there's nothing I like better than to wander up and down the streets, checking out the stores and the housing styles. If I happen on a district of Victorians, you can't pry me out with gunpowder--which is why San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. Owning this book is like being able to take a "house walk" any time you care to--even if it's 10 PM and blizzarding. Naversen's gorgeous full-color photographs, each arranged in a double-spread with some history about the house, take us from the Wedding Cake House (an 1826 Federal house in Kennebuk, ME, that was Victorianized in the mid-'50's) and Lyndhurst, a Gothic stonework castle begun in Tarrytown, NY, in 1838, to the Beaux-Arts Burrage Mansion, built in Boston's Back Bay 61 years later. Along the way he touches on all the major styles of Victorian domestic architecture, and presents houses large and small, well-known and obscure, masonry and frame, stark white and joyous Painted Lady. (His photos of the Lesley-Travers Mansion in New Castle, DE, and the Edward King House in Newport, RI, were taken around sunset and make the buildings appear to have dipped in blood, while the 1861 Moses Bulkeley House of Southport, CT, dozes amid lush greenery, the gorgeously and emphatically Pink House of Wellsville, NY, stands like a shout against an overcast sky and foliage just beginning to turn, and the Philadelphia house called Burholme is glorious in bisque against an unbelievably blue sky.) If you love to stare at the best examples of Victorian housing, this book and its companion are for you--but you may want to use a napkin to protect the pages!
Book Description
Reprint of rare catalog by one of America's most successful, late-19th-century domestic architects, with more than 100 designs for 68 houses. Elevations and floor plans for custom-designed homes in the Colonial, Romanesque, and Queen Anne styles, as well as plans for verandas, summer pavilions, and barns. Invaluable to architectural historians, preservationists, and home restorers.

Not a bad trip down memory lane.......2007-01-25
As a Victorian Architecture buff, I'm hard pressed to give a distinct verdict on this book. It has great illustrations, offers general plans with dimensions for all of the designs, and gives a down and dirty description of each, but it seems to raise more questions than answers. If you are looking to discover what this type of architecture looked like, both in overall appearance and in selected details, then this is the book for you. If you are looking to discover how these things were built, then you are going to be slightly disappointed.
Book Description
This fascinating book was originally published in 1897 as a house plans catalog. It's filled with drawings, floor plans and descriptions of 40 elegant Victorian houses and cottages. Each exterior is displayed in a full-page black-and-white drawing. Containing dimensions, exterior materials, interior finish and more, this edition is faithfully reproduced from a rare edition. 120 illustrations.
Customer Reviews:
nicel;y written nicely drawn.......2007-06-11
A good refurence on period homes. Each structure has a profile drawing, plans for two floors and is well described. Unfortunately it provides no images for attick which Victorians often used for bedrooms or funrooms as well as storage or basement which often contained house coal furnace and storage as well as other facilities.
A good find for anyone interested in homes of this most interesting period. I just wish it were complete.
Unique Floor Plans.......2005-09-17
I actually purchased this book for use in a computer game. The Sims and Sims 2 games permit the building of houses and for me, this book filled the bill perfectly.
To actually work from authentic floor plans used in the 19th Century and watch it come to life is an interesting hobby.
Each home consists of a very good drawing of the house itself plus an excellent rendering of the floor plan. In those days, you browsed thru this book much the same as a Sears Catalog and picked out the home you wanted built. You then bought the floor plans which varied in price. Some floor plans cost as little as $25.00, others cost $150.00.
There is a very good description of the house which consists of general dimensions, exterior materials, interior materials and accommodations such as heating by furnace or fireplace. In many cases, the house could be built for $3,000 or less.
For the history buff it would be interesting time spent with this book. I recommend it for the detail in the floor plans alone. The drawings are superb.
Book Description
This incredibly rich, firsthand source for the most popular styles of 19th-century Victorian architecture presents 26 cottage designs — including Gothic, bracketed, Italianate, "rustic," more — and 155 illustrations (includes floor plans). The small, inexpensive detached house received one of its earliest popularizations here.

A.J.Downing set a standard for early Victorian architecture........1999-05-23
A.J. Downing set the style for country suburban Victorian Cottages and gardens along the Hudson River in the 1830's and 1840's. All of his "cottages" featured fireplaces and architecturally important chimneys, usually with decorative chimney tops. Borrowing from painting and fine arts, Downing had definite opinions about color and appropriate use of materials. Provocative and interesting reading this book of cottage and garden plans and sketches is well worth reading. He set a standard for early Victorian architecture. - Jim Buckley
raves about A. J. Downing's "Victorian Cottage Residences".......1998-10-19
"Victorian Cottage Residences" is a comprehensive book of twenty-something floor plans, mostly of Victorian houses (obviously) both large and small. For those into landscaping as well, this book is doubly wonderful; otherwise the advice on the apple trees is probably better skipped. However, for anyone who's even remotely interested in old homes or houses in general, this is a fantastic book to check out.
Book Description
Complete reprint of charming, turn-of-the-century collection includes stylish private homes ranging from a two-story cottage with a servant’s room costing $1,000, to a two-story house with five bedrooms and four fireplaces, priced at $3,300. Invaluable to house restorers, preservationists, and architectural historians. 165 black-and-white illustrations.
Book Description
44 authentic and charming designs for vacation homes in varied styles and sizes, most low-to-medium budget, including designs for a Victorian club house, pavilion, school house and a "small seaside chapel." With perspective views, elevations and floor plans. 200 illustrations.
Customer Reviews:
a nice little book.......2007-05-03
A nice little book on the subject. Gives the reader a basic covering on a variety of dwellings of the period but unfortunately rarely gives more than one or two floors of a design that uas three or four without providing a full set. Also doesn't provide scale for some designs.
Another great resource from Dover.......2003-08-12
Though these houses purport to be "country houses and seaside cottages," there's little reason they couldn't have been built in any Victorian small town. They range from a tiny three-room structure to a rambling 10-bedroom Dutch Gambrel mansion (called in those days a "villa") to a "club house" (easily altered to private use), a lakeside pavilion, a Baptist chapel, a "stone rectory in Iowa," and a couple of apartment blocks, one of which eerily reminds me of a building not far from my former home. These buildings are primarily of the Eastlake or Queen Anne style, the original book having appeared in 1883, an era when the front stair-hall was often as big as any other room and used as such. You'll need a magnifier to make out some of the details, but if you have any interest at all in late-Victorian domestic architecture, you need to have this volume on your shelves.
Country Houses and Seaside Cottages of the Victorian Era.......2000-08-21
Is a great visually informative book. It gives the reader a better idea of the way homes were built in the late 19th century. The book covers a wide variety of victorian styles and includes plans, perspective views and elevations from a small 4 room cottage, to a huge 36+ room mansion in the Caribbean. I recomend this book to anybody interested in late 19th century victorian architecture.
