Old Houses in Holland

A richly illustrated survey of historic Dutch domestic architecture, examining the development of house forms, construction techniques, and decorative features across provinces and towns. The author traces the predominance of brickwork and regional variations, and documents doors, windows, gables, ironwork, and interior elements such as panelling, fireplaces, tiles, and furnishings. Arranged in sections with dated examples and coloured plates after period paintings, the work compares façades and structural details from numerous towns, and includes measured illustrations, carvings, and metalwork to show stylistic evolution and practical adaptations to local materials and climates.
