THE COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE OF MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA AND VIRGINIA. First of several editions. "Like Corner and Soderholtz's volumes Chandler's Colonial architecture was scarcely 'history.' Chandler, a young Boston architect later known as the restorer of the Paul Revere house and the House of the Seven Gables, presented fifty photographic plates, but no text, and the captions included no dates. The plates reflected Chandler's preference as a colonial revivalist for eighteenth and early nineteenth century houses: the seventeenth century was unrepresented and only two public buildings were recorded" - Rhoads.
