Canadian Architectural Styles

Featuring over 1,000 photographs, this guide identifies more than 40 important architectural styles in Canada, ranging from the nineteenth-century Georgian, Gothic Revival and Italianate buildings to twentieth- and twenty-first-century Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist and Neo-Expressionism. The examples are drawn from all across Canada, rural, small town and urban.

Meticulously researched and extensively illustrated, the book includes heritage homes, cottages, churches, schools and buildings of government and commerce. Each chapter provides an introduction to the style, followed by carefully selected representative examples from across the country. An index to buildings by town or region enables readers to identify and appreciate architectural styles in every part of Canada.

The result of more than a decade of research and photography, this is the first comprehensive field guide to Canadian architectural styles.
