What reading level is The English Home From Charles I to George Iv book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
65. House in Southgate, Gloucester, 1650.
FIG. 66. Houses at Ipswich.
FIG. 67. Nixon's Grammar School, Oxford, 1658 (now destroyed).
110 EXAMPLES OF TRANSITIONAL WORK 111 Another type of the quaint mixture of the old and the new is to be seen at Ipswich in the well-known Sparrow's house, and in the less ornate example shown in Fig. 66. Here the ancient practice of overhanging the upper stories is utilised to obtain the strong horizontal lines which are characteristic of the classic style ; but ...instead of the walls being full of windows, their blank spaces are larger in extent than the windows, and they are panelled in a simple fashion. Above the bold cornice spring three sharply pointed gables, which give an old-fashioned appearance to the house. The original windows are mullioned, but some of them (and probably all at first were alike) have an arched central light of double the width of the others. Xo doubt this treatment was introduced in order to vary the monotony of a series of windows composed entirely of small rectangular openings.
