Description: One Hundred Country Houses: Modern American Examples (Classic Reprint) [Paper... Product Overview Excerpt from One Hundred Country Houses: Modern American Examples Neither the expectation nor the regret was justified. It would indeed have been a fine thing had we made an art lovely and without precedent; but when the critics decry our originality compared to that Of Gothic and Greek builders, they forget that the buildings they have in mind were not spontaneous but the culmination Of centuries Of study, experiment, and earnest effort. Had we been the aboriginal Americans, without knowledge Of the great past and of different blood from its makers, we would have developed, as the Indians did, an architecture novel and without reminiscence Of European work. But we were transplanted Europeans Of the blood Of the Old builders, with memory Of their work, all the more compelling be cause Of the lack Of daily familiarity therewith.
