What reading level is An Architectural Monograph On the Boston Post Road book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Doorway. HOUSE AT OLD MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT.
impose orders, especially more than two in num- ber, yet it is a problem which the early architects solved in general much better than we. The greatest difficulty is probably to combine the cornice of the building with the entablature of the uppermost order; certain of our architects have even tried to decorate skyscrapers from top to bottom with applied orders of two or three stories each; it is obvious that it is impossible to reconcile the scale of ...the cornice of a thirty-foot order with that of a three-hundred-foot building. In this little court house at New London, the two-story building is perfectly terminated with a cornice of excellent scale as regards the order of which it is an integral part.
It is impossible to say just why we are so rarely able to approximate the quality of Colo- nial work. Certainly we are better educated in architecture, — or should we say more educated? We have a wider field of precedent from which to draw and we have more money and better mechanics with the same quality white pine as a building material, yet the Colonial architect showed within his limited field a more daring talent for design, and a greater perfection in execution.
