Forgot to mention I used the above book during my undergrad. It's pretty good, but it might be a bit pricey. 

Thanks

Yeah, appears to be around standard text book price. Looks like some heavy duty reading. Mostly looking for a lighter read (being a history major I've got tons of reading already) but I'll throw it in my amazon cart for a rainy day.

Look into Kenneth Frampton, I think he has some history books. I have one called Modern Architecture. It cost about 8 bucks

See it be for $15. Thanks again!

I offer “A Field Guide to American Houses” by Virginia & Lee McAlester, it is of course about house styles but it all applies…its not heavy reading but a reference guide to all styles…see a style…look it up. There are lots of drawings/pictures/cues coupled with discriptive text and history.
