Turn-of-the-Century Decorative Millwork

Rating:
Summary: Excellent ref. to historically accurate millwork from 1902
Review: Note: This book and "The Victorian Design Book" (ISBN 0-9691019-6-1, A Complete Guide to Victorian House Trim) are both reprints of the "Universal Design Book, Chicago". Both contain listings adopted by the Wholesale Sash, Door and Blind Manufacturers' Association. This book is a reprint from a 1902 price listing, "The Victorian Design Book" is from a 1903 price listing, but both appear to match in price. Both books, while organized slightly differently do appear to contain the same items, illustrations and prices, with very little difference in content.

While both books use some color, "The Victorian Design Book" has additional color plates where the "Turn of the Century Decorative Millwork" uses black and white. Either book would be an excellent reference for historically accurate millwork from 1902-1903 (but you won't need both).
