What reading level is American Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They bear an unmistakably strong and indi- vidual stamp, and failures as, upon the whole, they must be called, they really increase the admiration aroused by their author's successes for the power of design that can make even wilful error so interesting.
That romantic architecture is not inconsistent with the suggestion of a home, or with the conditions of a modern town-house, is shown, if it needed any showing, by a dwelling that adjoins the first of the Richardson houses, and that nobody who ...is familiar with Mr. W. K. Van- derbilt's house or with the Marquand houses in New York would need to be told was the work of Mr. Hunt.
It recalls particularly the Vanderbilt house, being in the same monochrome of light gray, and repeating, though with a wide variation, some of the same features, espe- cially the corbelled tourelle. This is here placed to much better advantage at a salient instead of a re- entrant angle; it is more happily proportioned; the cor- belling, not continuous, but broken by the wall of the angle, is very cleverly managed, and the whole feature is as picturesque and spirited as it is unmistakably do- mestic in expression.
