Illustrated by
Sarah S. Brannen.
In this alphabet book, every letter is represented by a style of house or by a word associated with dwellings, from apartments, to the Kilbourne home kit sold by Sears, Roebuck in the 1920s, to the White House. Short, informative paragraphs describe the structures, while attractive watercolor illustrations show the variety of architecture found around the United States.
