The classic book Bricks and Brownstone, the first and still the only book to examine in depth the varied architectural styles of the much-loved New York City rowhouse or brownstone was first published in 1972. That edition, and those that immediately followed, helped pave the way for a brownstone revival that has transformed the very appearance of the city. Rizzoli published a revised and expanded edition in 2003, to much fanfare. This edition revisits the classic, but features new and updated text, new color photography, and offers to a waiting audience the long-awaited re-issue of the landmark volume in renewed and brilliant new form. Boasting more than 400 color and black-and-white images, this definitive volume examines in detail the Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire architectural styles of the early and mid-nineteenth century, as well as the Neo Greco, Romanesque, Renaissance Revival, and American Colonial Revival styles of the late nineteenth
