What reading level is One Hundred Country Houses; Modern American Examples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PLATT, ARCHITECT ONE HUNDRED COUNTRY HOUSES pergola, although the root itself is closed, offering a beauti- ful opportunity for the growth of vines along the top of the porch, and at the same time giving a protection against sun and rain. The little iron balconies on the central motive are deserving of attention, as are the flower-boxes between the windows of the first and second stories on the flanking wings. In this house the full entablature is con- tinued completely around, not stopping aga...inst the main body of the house, as was the case in the previous examples.
The Probst residence at Englewood, New Jersey, is still another application of the same principles, but in unusual combination with the so-called "Dutch" or "gambrel" roof. The walls are of clapboards, like the New England houses, and the porch instead of having the columns spaced nearly equal has them combined in pairs at either side of the center, marking the entrance. It is to be regretted that no photograph does this house justice, the beauty of the detail being largely lost, and the effect of the mass of the house injured, by the shadows cast by the clapboards, which in reality play a very small part in the appearance.
