Classic
Architectural Birdhouses
By
Award-winning Architect Richard T. Banks
|
|
Many architects of the
past, including Frank Lloyd Wright, have been known to design a
birdhouse or two as a diversion from the discipline of practicing
architecture. Award-winning architect Richard T. Banks continues that
time-honored tradition with his editions of Classic Architectural
Birdhouses, displaying his love of design, reverence for nature, and
sensitivity to detail.

ITALIANATE: There are many styles of eclectic
residential Victorian architecture, but none more popular than the
Italianate style. For something special for your garden or home, our
Italianate edition captures the essence of the style with its prominent
eave brackets, classic detailing, and coloration akin to the Tuscany
region of northern Italy.
