My wife loves the A. Hays Town homes, and this book is a nice representation of his work. A good coffee table item for guests to view.

I found this book to be exactly the view of Hays Town's work that I wanted to see.

This book is a sampler of the classic Louisiana architecture designed by the late A. Hays Town. Anyone lucky enough to live in a house designed by Mr. Town is a lucky person indeed. His houses encapsulate all the divergent vernacular styles that coalesce into the gumbo of Creole style buildings. My only disappointment with this lovely book is the fact that the emphasis is truly on the architecture of the buildings and not the furnishings and appointments. The rooms looked a little cold and spare, but otherwise this book should be a resource for anyone contemplating building a French-style residence.

This book is a "must have"! Beautiful photography, well written and the best example of great Southern architecture! A. Hays Town's houses are unique and designed for comfort as well as beauty. Enjoy!

Just a wonderful book on a siminal Louisiana treasure. A. Hays Town, took the native French Louisiana architecture and made it his own. His homes are so inviting and are so rich to the eye. I have been in several of his homes and each is special in their own way. The photographs in this book are just supurb and the text is very informative. Mr. Town really knows how to create a setting and his homes look like they have been there forever, like this is what nature intended. I urge anyone with an appeciation of great residential architecture to buy this book, you will not be disappointed.
