What reading level is Architectural Styles for Country Houses the Characteristics And Merits of Vario book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet the proportion of the American people whose ancestry is English is a comparatively small one, and English half-tim- ber architecture is distinctly an importation in this country and not a development. Mr. Wallis, like Mr. Jackson, also 94 ARCHITECTURAL ST\XES FOR COUNTRY HOUSES insists that the native style is the one which absolutely must be employed. I thoroughly agree \\-ith both of them, and, if we are all three right, the style to use is Dutch or notliing.
Colonial architecture is form...al while the half-timber work is informal ; both have advantages, the former in its dignity, and the latter in its flexibility. The Dutch work has the advantages of both without the disadvantages of either. If the sjonmetry of the Colonial house is disturbed its agree- able qualities are lost, while the half-timber house executed symmetrically becomes dry and tiresome in the extreme. A house can be executed in any way you please in the Dutch style. The central mass of the house may be flanked ^vith wings of equal size and similar fenestration, or the house may ramble about, following the slopes of the ground and avoiding big trees without any loss of charm.
