May I ask if you're in school and if this is part of an assignment?

Strange, I had no problem finding out different styles while in university. There were entire sections of this building with rows of bound paper stacks apparently dedicated to nothing else but history. My arch history profs also did not appear to have problems making clear distinctions between stylistic periods.

Would this be for residential or commercial architecture?


Either way try this book

Thank you ! it is not specific to a building typology, but rather to have a general overview !

I frequently use the Field Guide to North American Houses when looking for vernacular detailing and identification in residential.
