[Rarebooks] FS: 1878 Palliser's Victorian Homes - David Gebhard's Copy

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Palliser’s Model Homes. Showing a Variety of Designs for Model Dwellings"

Published in Bridgeport by Palliser, Palliser & Co.. Undated, but 1878.
“Tenth thousand”.

DISCUSSION: “Also, farm-barn and hennery, stable and carriage house,
school house, Masonic association building, bank and library, town hall
and three churches”. First published in 1876, the Palliser designs include
both the Stick Style of the 1860s and the Queen Anne styles of the 1870s.
Some of the houses are identified by their actual location and owners. Of
added interest in this copy, there are a number of illustrated
advertisements for architectural accessories at the end, including a
two-page advertisement for John Lucas & Co. of Philadelphia, a paint
manufacturer, which has mounted paint samples on both pages (see below).

This copy has the blindstamped name and address of architect David Gebhard
[1927-1996] on the endpaper. To quote Wikipedia, "Gebhard was a leading
architectural historian, particularly known for his books on the
architecture and architects of California. He was a long-time faculty
member at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and was dedicated
to the preservation of Santa Barbara architecture...With Robert Winter he
co-authored guides to architecture in northern and southern California.
Gebhard was also active in service to his community, serving for many
years on the Santa Barbara County Architectural Board of Review. He was
active in the Society of Architectural Historians, and served a term as
its president in the 1980s. The David Gebhard Memorial Lecture Series is
an annual event sponsored by Pasadena Heritage, an architectural
preservation organization in Pasadena, California".
