Traditional Details for Building Restoration, Renovation and Rehabilitation from the 1932-51 Editions of "Architectural Graphic Standards"

This text contains the best and most representative traditional-style details from Volumes 1 to 4 of "Architectural Graphic Standards". Focus is on materials and details which are again in demand owing to the high volume of building restoration and preservation work, and the typical use of traditional materials and details by architects designing in the post-modern style. This is a hands-on, practical book, not a collector's volume, and includes such items as roofing made of slate, clay tile, copper and other metals; classical cabinetwork; walls and paving of stone and other traditional materials, as well as pages showing old stock sizes of steel and lumber.
