Review & Description

From New Orleans to Natchez, along the great Mississippi River, enormous fortunes were made from cotton and cane, and southern planters built majestic castles to celebrate their nobility, wealth, and power. America's Castles takes you on an exclusive tour of the great antebellum mansions of the Old South. Go inside John Hampden Randolph's 64-room Nottaway, set on a 7,000 acre sugar plantation, and visit the exquisite Rosalie, built by Peter Little for his 13-year-old bride. Meet the colorful Irish immigrant Frederick Stanton. He became one of the richest men in America and built the five-story Stanton Hall to prove it. And what tour of Natchez would be complete without a look at Dr. Haller Nutt's Longwood, the 100-foot tall octagonal wonder they call "Nutt's Folly"? It's a once-in-a-lifetime grand tour of the Old South's spectacular palaces. Read more

Review & Description

The concept of the prefabricated house has long been reserved for dwellings of a humble nature; a last resort rather than a desirable place to live. However, as society has become more conscious of the need for environmentally friendly and cost effective housing, architects have responded by dramatically improving the technology and aesthetics of these types of constructions. Prefabulous Houses takes the reader on a journey through what can be achieved today in the field of prefabricated housing. Projects from some of the world?s top architects in the field are accompanied by full-color photographs, floor plans and clear explanations providing anyone interested in this area, whether architects or future prefab residents, with a comprehensive selection of different possibilities.
