A Review of: Gothic Style: Architecture & Interiors 18th Century to the Present by Kathleen Mahoney

From mock ruins and other fanciful garden follies to extravagant manor houses and castles, from simple cottages to Hudson River villas and the mansions of Palm Beach, author Kathleen Mahoney examines Gothic's inventive and exuberant design heritage over the last three centuries. Some 30 structures - many open to the public - in the United States and Great Britain are explored inside and out in beautiful full-color photographs and historic engravings. In addition, the author weaves an intriguing social history that conveys the romantic spirit with which tastemakers, architects, and designers have captured the medieval past.

If only my college professor had explained Gothic Architecture in the same informative and meaningful manner, perhaps I wouldn’t have fallen asleep during his lectures!!
Thank you! “Better late than never”.

It seems to me that ancient gothic and Greek Roman French neoclassical style buildings of early medieval European design buildings are forever reviving younger generations bringing classic appreciation for the past prestigious at heart. The ancient structures seems to have been given live with unexplained 😂vivid radiance ❤❤❤

Thanks for such a great review...and tour ! My personal favorite Gothic style is by Thomas Chippendale. Love how he breaks up the repetitiveness of gothic with the asymmetry and floral styles of the Rococo. I have to go and order this book now, but THANKS A BUNCH for posting this ❣

Just wondering if gothic is related to the goths and Visigoths. Kinda nerdy, I know! Love to see Wilmington. Thanks.

Is this book out of print? I have tried to source a copy online, but haven't been successful.

I don’t understand why Gothic architecture is always used for dark things, or made into scary houses. Its so pretty! I love everything but it needs to be lighter! Like a fairytale castle! :]
