Victorian Houses Of Mississippi

Although Mississippi's antebellum architecture has received wide recognition, its late nineteenth-century architectural legacy has remained mostly anonymous. In 187 full-colour photographs, Sherry Pace, showcases a selection of 143 houses that exemplify Victorian tastes in residential design. Close-ups of some of the homes reveal the high standard of craftsmanship that went into both design and construction along with such specific details as beautiful spindlework, elaborate gable ornamentation, and striking dormers. Equally impressive are the gorgeous original pastel colours that many homes still boast.
