Those old placid rows
by Natalie W. Shivers
About
"Rowhouses are back in favor and H. L. Mencken has been proven right once again. His belief that the rowhouse is the perfect dwelling for the civilized man is echoing around the country today. And Baltimore is the real urban Cinderella. Its miles of red brick houses with white marble steps - once regarded as plain and old-fashioned - are now recognized as an architectural treasure unmatched by any other city. This book examines those classic dwellings created by the genius of builders 150 years ago and preserved by the ingeniousness of Baltimoreans today. Even Baltimoreans will be surprised that the Baltimore row house differs from others. It will be fun to see how - by going, book in hand, to the streets pictured in the four dozen illustrations, most of which appear here for the first time. Armchair tourists will enjoy this book too"--Cover.
