The Architectural Legacy of Alfred Giles by Mary Carolyn Hollers George PDF Summary

Book Description: "The Architectural Legacy of Alfred Giles focuses on architect Alfred Giles' work in Texas and Northern Mexico. Giles, who practiced from the 1870s to the 1920s after emigrating from England, designed buildings reflecting a great variety of styles derived from architectural forms of the past, combining them in original ways. Giles produced designs for unpretentious domestic residences and showy mansions, county courthouses, and commercial and institutional structures all over Texas. He adapted and combined stylistic elements with restraint, sobriety, and simplicity." "In the Architectural Legacy of Alfred Giles, Mary Carolyn Hollers George highlights the Giles buildings in Texas that have been heroically restored in the last thirty years, many as a result of the leadership of the San Antonio Conversation Society, the Texas Historical Commission, and various advocacy groups. An appendix details Giles' accomplishments in northern Mexico. Color photographs of the restored sites, taken by architect Eugene George, complement black-and-white historical photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
