What reading level is In the New South End Every House Counts: Notes On Exterior Rehabilitation of South End Houses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Money invested in needed re-pointing or in steam cleaning will be well spent and will increase the value of the house.
• When repointing brick walls, do not outline each brick / this makes the house stand out in the block as loud and flashy. Use the existing fine joint or a darker mortar for the best effect.
i I It will be seen that a house can become "minus" when the original architecture is carelessly changed. Many South End houses were built by master craftsmen at a time when careful, handcr...afted workmanship was the rule.
The houses would cost unbelievable sums to build today even if the workmen were available. Once the details are stripped off, they are gone forever. What often replaces them is a mixed and uninteresting hodgepodge.
The photographs opposite show how "plus" and "minus" details affect the appearance of a whole block. The top picture is of a row of typical South End houses. Notice the brackets and cornices under the roof, pediments and hoods over doors, generous sized panes in the windows and handsome stone steps with old, heavy wrought iron railings.
