To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Efforts are sometimes made to combine the features of different styles, but this eclecticism is seldom successful, and the total result in beautiful and impressive buildings is not worthy of the amount of knowledge and pains that has been devoted to the work as a whole and of the amount of money that has been spent upon it. Some fine things have been produced, but few in proportion to the whole. Neither have you here in the United States developed any characteristically American style of buildi...ng since the so-caUed " colonial " tj^e of pre-Revolutionary days. There is no style distinctive of the different sections of the country, except a few traces of Spanish work in Santa Fe (in New Mexico), and here and there in California, and a touch of French influence in the older parts of New Orleans.

Even in Spanish America, where people buUt from the first in stone, whereas your ancestors built in wood, there is little variety.
