Don't leave home without your architectural
style and grammar book(s)!
These are NOT "humped protrusions!"
There are many architectural books
available--and no two are alike, which is the problem. There is no set
terminology for some things. The best solution is to bring in your survey
forms for Dr. Small to look at in class. Here is a compiled list of
common elements of houses
in Charleston, Illinois.
However, McAlester's offers a nice
classification system that helps one figure out what they are looking
at. (For example, "if you see this type of window, it could be
these styles...")
The many faces of Virginia
and Lee McAlester's A Field Guide to American Houses, (1984).
Another good book is John
J. G. Bluemnson's Identifying American Architecture.
