The aura and romance of Old California lives on in this treasury of inviting homes. "The California House" presents the magic of the "golden state," a land of infinite promise and dreams, the most tangible expression of which can be found in the homes built by early California dreamers...Including, but going beyond, the much-adored Spanish style (in its many manifestations) and Mission Revival, the book features as well the Victorian of San Francisco's Painted Lady and Eureka's Queen Anne, Monterey Colonial, California Arts & Crafts, French Chateau, classic Colonial farm house, and more.
