Shingle Style Houses

In Shingle Style Houses (Schiffer Publishing), architect John R. DaSilva surveys 28 historic and contemporary homes that embody the enduring appeal and evolution of the “Shingle Style,” a distinctive American architectural tradition. This book spans examples from across the United States and Canada, exploring the historical origins, defining characteristics, and continued reinterpretation of this style. Combining architectural analysis, historical research, and detailed visual documentation, DaSilva highlights both celebrated works and lesser-known houses, including several examples that have never been published. The result is a richly illustrated examination of the regional diversity, character, and lasting influence of the “Shingle Style” on North American residential architecture.
