What reading level is An Architectural Monograph On Houses of the Southern Colonies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The facades of Westover, Shirley, Brandon, etc. , are simple, gentle, and assured, as only the facades of men and women who have assurance of place and family may be gentle and simple. I once saw a thorough- bred girl on the back of a thoroughbred horse, coming up the sward from the James to a thoroughbred house — that of Carter's Grove: a perfect picture and a most natural conclusion, for the house was in the class with both Diana and the horse. And these other types might be, and indeed must ...be, accepted as the progeny of the more stately and dignified chateaux of the great landowners of Colonial times, for here we find the same completeness, the same con- straint against over-adornment.
The streets in the little villages of the South are lined with these charming and restful homes, and you will also find in the type which we will call the outhouses of the great mansions, the same care in design and the same restraint in composition and ornament which are illustrated in the charming Williamsburg, Falmouth, and Fredericksburg examples: all of them supreme in their place, and all of them creating a restful atmosphere such as you may find between the covers of "Cranford.
