Austin was most active during the antebellum era  designing exotic buildings that have captured the imaginations of many for decades. James F. OGorman deftly documents Austins work during the 1840s and 50s  the time when Austin was most productive and creative  and for which a wealth of material exists. The book is organized according to various building types: domestic  ecclesiastic  public  and commercial. OGorman helps to clarify what buildings should be attributed to the architect and comments on the various styles that went into his eclectic designs. Henry Austin is lavishly illustrated with 132 illustrations  including 32 in full color. Three extensive appendices provide valuable information on Austins books  drawings  and his office.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665832042549,"sku":"ByrdShop_0819568961","price":43.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780819568960.jpg?v=1782409194","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/henry-austin-in-every-variety-of-architectural-style-garnet-books-9780819568960","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
