Written by American author, poet, and ornithologist, Charles Keeler: "This book, dedicated to the architect Bernard Maybeck, was largely a polemic against the architectural shams and gingerbread of the Victorian age, and a paean to 'a simpler, a truer, a more vital art expression' then taking place in California" (from the Introduction). This book was first published in 1904, when Keeler was president of the Hillside club, a social club in Berkeley, California.
