Creating Your Architectural Style

by George D. Hopkins, Jr.

Book Reviews

"Creating Your Own Architectural Style" is a superbly presented and comprehensive reference that is highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library Architectural Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists."

The Library Journal (January 15, 2010)

"New Orleans-based architect Hopkins has designed over 1000 palatial homes. Here, he shares his knowledge of American architectural styles and his own experiences giving home owners the know-how to create their ideal residence. Especially helpful are his definitions of the responsibilities of the professionals involved, from architect to general contractor."

Reader Reviews
"Loved the book, particularly the section on architectural styles, with dates, historic notes, and distinguishing characteristics. The glossary is also a valuable resource for us "lay people."
