I bought a book for a friend for Christmas entitled Colonial Mansions of Maryland & Delaware. The book was written by John Martin Hammond and published as a limited edition in 1914. There are 64 black-and-white photographs which illustrate the book.
Before I gave the book to my friend, I took scans of the pages pertaining to the Scott House, originally home to the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty's first president, Upton Scott.
As I was searching for the publication information for this book, I found that the Hathi Trust has scanned the book and it's available in its entirety on-line. The link is here.
Here are the few pages about Scott House.
Hello Meg, The Scott house is very handsome in its proportions and detail. I love those local architecture books from the early 20th century. Unfortunately, usually only Colonial buildings were eligible; we need to extend the idea to later houses. Many current books are mostly eye-candy and don't include dimensions and floor-plans.
