The colonial architecture of Philadelphia
A 1920 Boston survey of colonial architecture in Philadelphia by Frank Cousins and Phil M. Riley, written for architects and students of early American building. The plates are rotated photographs of Philadelphia houses, doorways, and interiors, including Cannon Street's Little Thakes row, Mount Pleasant's hall and stair, and the Bingham and Wister houses. A designer could take from them the scale of brick facades, the carved entrance doorways with fanlights, and the restrained stair halls of the period.
