Description
This is the complete guide for owners and occupiers of houses dating from the classic period of British domestic architecture. It sets the houses in their historical context and provides a wealth of advice on maintenance, restoration and sympathetic modernisation, with the emphasis on the use of authentic materials and techniques.
In the first part of the book, Steven Parissien describes the development of the Georgian style in Britain from its introduction in the early eighteenth century through to the mid-nineteenth century and explains how the original inhabitants would have used the various rooms. In the second part, he devotes a chapter to each element of the Georgian house, including roofs, brickwork and stonework, doors, windows, staircase fireplaces, mouldings and plasterwork. Throughout the book, he stresses the need for today's owners to understand the ideas, techniques and materials employed by those who built their homes. With its wealth of practical advice on the preservation and restoration of both structure and decor, as well as an invaluable guide to specialist suppliers and sources of further information, this book is an indispensable resource for lovers of Georgian architecture.
