What reading level is Stately Homes of California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
C. Schweinfurth; the extensive additions were designed by Miss Julia Morgan.
The walls of the house, finished in white stucco, support a roof of red Spanish tiles. Although accented by decora- tive grilles in front of the windows of the second story and of the towers, the wall surfaces retain their simplicity. The grilles, however, give to the building an interesting and distinctive character further enhanced by the essentially Spanish device of gutters that pierce and project beyond the walls,... and by the red earthen pots placed at intervals along the parapets. These grilles represent one of the many decorative uses of iron to be seen in both the exterior and the interior of the structure. The lower gateway, for example, is spanned by an ornamental, wrought-iron arch which springs from the two round towers. The windows of the latter are covered with grilles of intricate design. The gates themselves are studded with iron bolts, and have decorative hinge-plates and other fittings.
23 STATELY HOMES OF CALIFORNIA To enter the house by the main door, one must first pass into, the patio or courtyard, planted in lawn and flanked on either side by vine-grown pergolas.
