What reading level is The Colonial Architecture of Philadelphia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Least pleasing of all is the fluting of the frieze portion of the entablature sections with three sets of drillings suggestive of festoons.
Another admirable type of doorway, of which there are many examples in Philadelphia, frames the high, round-headed arch of the doorway with tall, slender engaged columns supporting a massive entablature above the semicircular fanlight over the door.
Almost without exception the entablature is some variation of the Ionic order with denticulated bed- mold in ...the cornice, plain flat frieze and molded architrave, the latter sometimes enriched by incised decorative bands. The columns are Doric and smooth. They stand in front of more widely [112] Doorways and Porches spaced pilasters, which are virtually a broadening of the casings of the door frame, and which support a second entablature back of the first and somewhat wider. The two combined form a doorhead with projection almost equal to a hood, but the effect is far more stately.
Such a doorway in its simplest form, with columns tapering considerably toward the top, in accordance with a prevalent local custom of the time, is to be seen on the Powel house.
