Architect John DaSilva blends deep professional insight with historical research to showcase both landmark and lesser-known houses across the U.S. and Canada--from 19th-century classics to innovative contemporary builds. Regional context, architectural analysis, and stylistic commentary provide a comprehensive portrait of this uniquely American aesthetic.
