THE growing tendency to rescue old buildings from 

 neglect, and the important problems which are raised 

 by such work are dealt with in a thorough and practical 

 manner in this lavishly illustrated book. Detailed 

 descriptions reveal how a number of typical houses of 

 bygone days have been re-equipped to meet modern 

 demands, without destroying the witness they bear to 

 the old traditions of building. Incidentally the author 

 has shown in how many cases the records of modest 

 little houses have been preserved and how intimately 

 their local story is woven into the larger fabric of 

 National History. The book is a trustworthy guide 

 to all who wish to repair or alter an old house, and are 

 desirous of achieving it in the right spirit.
