<p>From dust jacket notes: "One rarely thinks of American architecture in terms of castles, and yet here they stand, almost as a protest against the ugliness of an industrial age, proudly displaying the grandeur of days gone by. The idea of castle architecture in America is not a new one. Many of the castles depicted here were constructed long ago, after the Revolutionary War and after the Civil War. Most of them were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with one, Chateau Laroche, still in process of being built at the time of this writing....Many of these castles still exist today and are open to the public. Amidst the turrets, battlements, great halls, and often unique interiors, the sense of being back in days of old is keenly felt. More than 250 illustrations bring to life the marvelous detail in design, as well as the splendor or simplicity of the interior furnishings of these castles, giving the reader a sense of the elegance of one of America's little-known forms of architecture."</p>
