Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other American city is so defined by an indigenous architectural style as Baltimore is by the rowhouse, whose brick facades march up and down the gentle hills of the city. Why did the rowhouse thrive in Baltimore? How did it escape destruction here, unlike in many other historic American cities? What were the forces that led to the citywide renovation of Baltimore's rowhouses? The Baltimore Rowhouse tells the fascinating 200-year story of this building type. It chronicles the evolution of the rowhouse from its origins as speculative housing for immigrants, through its reclamation and renovation by young urban pioneers thanks to local government sponsorship, to its current occupation by a new cadre of wealthy professionals.

Download or read book The North Atlantic Cities written by Charles Duff and published by Oro Editions. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Atlantic Cities by Charles B. Duff, which is available for the first time in the United States, is a book on urban development and urban life masquerading as a book on architecture. It is the story of four hundred years of architecture and urban development in four countries: the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States, particularly cities like New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, Savannah, to name a few. The author starts with a kind of building few others have considered--the row house--which could very well be the key to understanding why many of the world's great cities look and function as they do. From the 1600s to today as the author theorizes, this innocuous-seeming housing type is perhaps the antidote to suburban sprawl, urban decay, and the worst catastrophes of global climate change.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... NEW CASTLE. DELAWARE VAN DYKE--DU PONT--JANVIER--LAMBSON-- STEWART CROSS Delaware Avenue from the Amstel House, New Castle, Delaware, is the David Stewart House, a quaint and charming old mansion built by Governor Van Dyke for his son, Senator Van Dyke, about the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is three stories in height and the front doorway is approached by a high flight of brownstone steps. Dr. David Stewart, the present owner and occupant, is the fifth of his name in New Castle and the fifth of his name to be a physician. The house is simple in exterior and is more attractive for its charm of aspect than for pretension of size or design. The rooms of the interior have lofty ceilings, are well lighted and have good proportions. Downstairs there is a quantity of fine wood-carving in a floral design, especially in the dining-room. A broad hall runs from the front door to the back of the house. Senator Van Dyke, for whom the mansion was built, was born in 1770 in his father's home, the Amstel House. He was educated in Philadelphia and studied law in the office of Chief Justice Kensey Johns. Though an attorney by profession he was a public man by avocation, and spoke for his state in the Halls of Congress for many years. He died in 1826 on the eve of reelection to the United States Senate. Contemporary records of him and traditions speak of him as a man of most delightful personality, known for the charm of his manner and his fine intellectual attainments. Upon the death of Senator Van Dyke, the home fell to the lot of his daughter, Dorcas, who married Charles Irence Du Pont. Dorcas' sister, Susannah, married Dr. David Stewart, the grandfather of the present occupant. From the family of Charles I. DuPont the mansion passed by...

Book excerpt: "This record of shortsighted destruction may help save the city's remaining wood, stone, and brick treasures."-- "Baltimore Magazine" They fell victim to fire and time, road builders and city planners, the schemes of short-sighted developers, and their owners' neglect. From the red-brick shops and taverns of colonial times to the monumental banks and theaters of the early twentieth century, the lost buildings of old Baltimore represent an irreplaceable part of the city's heritage. Now, in this revised and beautifully redesigned edition of Carleton Jones's popular retrospective, the vanished structures of Baltimore's past are made accessible to a new generation of readers. Each of the more than one hundred entries includes a photograph, the building's exact location, the years it was built and razed, and a paragraph describing its architectural and historical significance. Also included are lively and informative essays giving an overview of Baltimore's colonial, Federal, antebellum, Victorian, and "golden city" periods of architecture. Churches and saloons, temples and courthouses, public buildings, townhouses, office buildings, and country mansions--the structures of "Lost Baltimore" have lost none of their power to stir the imagination. " "Lost Baltimore" is valuable for its collection and presentation of buildings we can know now only through pictures and text. The book is likely to hold its interest over the long term."-- "Maryland Historical Magazine"
