About this book
Historic millwork expert Brent Hull provides a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive reference of millwork elements found in historic homes from the 18th to 20th centuries. Millwork: The Design and Manufacturing of Historic Millwork from 1740β1950 is organized by type of millwork for ease of reference and includes rare illustrations, hard-to-find drawings, and diagrams from the 19th century, many of which are sourced from out-of-print catalogs in Hull's private collection.
Explore the classification and definition of doors, windows, moldings, mantels, paneled walls, built-ins, and other millwork elements through a historical lens. Learn how architectural millwork elements were designed, manufactured, and constructed during the hand-made (pre-industrial) era and how they changed after World War II. Millwork: The Design and Manufacturing of Historic Millwork from 1740β1950 is a unique and valuable reference for architects, designers, historians, preservationists, builders, or anyone interested in restoring historic homes.
