Victorian Architecture of Iowa

Rating:
Summary: The Beautiful Midwest from an Architectural Angle
Review: This book is like a treasure box. When opened it reveals the beauty of the midwest from an angle that not too many people have thought of. The photographs make you look at structures in another way,thus opening up a whole new "treasure box" when you begin seeing these architectural elements in real life no matter where you are--Midwest or not! It's even more exciting to take a road trip and actually drive by these featured homes and buildings. This is a must for those renovating victorians,those partial to victorians,and those interested in preserving the old structures in your town. If you are a RAGBRAI rider (The Register's Great Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa)and have been captivated with the simple beauty of Iowa,this book will open up yet another avenue of enjoyment as you proceed through the small towns of the state.
