Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Artistic Country-Seats, Vol. 1: Types of Recent American Villa and Cottage Architecture; With Instances of Country Clubhouses
IN the Renaissance of American art, which, beginning with the year of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, has produced the Society of Ameri can Artists, the National Opera Company, and the Society of American Wood Engravers, the architect has been conspicuous. He has created the American country-seat, and he rests upon it his claim to distinction. This fact was recognized a short time ago by a committee of architects from Great Britain who had been sent to this country to inquire into the condition of our archi tecture, and who found in the country-seat the American architect's chief triumph.
