Built in 1889 and now home to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Spencer Mansion is a magnificent building with a rich and layered history. With detailed research, historian and author Robert Ratcliffe Taylor describes the original appearance of the house, designed by William Ridgway Wilson for Alexander Green and his family, as well as its inhabitants over the decades. Also known as Gyppeswyk, after the village in England where Green wed Theophila Rainer, the house is more commonly referred to as the Spencer Mansion, after later owners David and Emma Spencer. The book also chronicles the brief period when the residence served as BC's Government House and concludes with the story of how the house came to function as an art gallery. A unique book, The Spencer Mansionshowcases a true gem of Victoria's architecture and history.

"Spencer House is one of the great architectural landmarks of London. Built in the eighteenth century by John, 1st Earl Spencer, an ancestor of the Princess of Wales, it was immediately recognized as a building of major importance and is today the most complete surviving example of its kind, the great London mansions of the nobility and gentry having largely been demolished. Under the direction of its current occupants, the J. Rothschild group of companies, the house has recently been the object of one of the most ambitious restoration projects to be undertaken this century and the state rooms are now open to the public." "In this first in-depth study, Joseph Friedman highlights the unique importance of the building and argues that the great London mansion was no less significant than the country house in shaping the architectural, social and political history of England. He documents the history of Spencer House from its construction to the present day, and examines the revolutionary work of its architects: John Vardy, whose designs for the exterior and ground floor mark the evolution from Palladianism towards a Neo-Classicism inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome, and James 'Athenian' Stuart, who pioneered the use of Greek architectural ornament in the decoration of the first-floor rooms." "At a deeper level, the author argues that Spencer House has much to teach us about the all-embracing role of the architect in the eighteenth century, and the importance of symbolism, metaphor and allegory. By tracing the sources of the building's design he sheds new light on the philosophy and methodology of eighteenth-century English architecture, and attitudes towards the art and architecture of the past. The successive owners of the house are chronicled, beginning with a history of the Spencer family, in particular John, 1st Earl Spencer, and culminating in a discussion of the conditions which led to the letting of the house and the eventual sale of the lease to the J. Rothschild group. The survey concludes with a detailed account of the restoration and the ingenious ideas which guaranteed its success." "The book is illustrated throughout with sumptuous interiors, architectural drawings and details, portraits and maps."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

When Mark Spencer and his family moved into the beautiful old Allen House in Monticello, Arkansas, they were aware of its notorious reputation for being haunted. According to local lore, the troubled spirit of society belle Ladell Allen, who had mysteriously committed suicide in the master bedroom in 1948, still roamed the grand historic mansion. Yet, Mark remained skeptical—until he and his family began encountering faceless phantoms, a doppelganger spirit, and other paranormal phenomena. Ensuing ghost investigations offered convincing evidence that six spirits, including Ladell, inhabited their home. But the most shocking event occurred the day Mark followed a strange urge to explore the attic and found, crammed under a floorboard, secret love letters that touchingly depict Ladell Allen's forbidden, heart-searing romance—and shed light on her tragic end. This haunting true ghost story includes several photographs of the Allen House.

Encompassing nearly 2,000 years of heists and tunnel jobs, break-ins and escapes, A Burglar's Guide to the City offers an unexpected blueprint to the criminal possibilities in the world all around us. You'll never see the city the same way again. At the core of A Burglar's Guide to the City is an unexpected and thrilling insight: how any building transforms when seen through the eyes of someone hoping to break into it. Studying architecture the way a burglar would, Geoff Manaugh takes readers through walls, down elevator shafts, into panic rooms, up to the buried vaults of banks, and out across the rooftops of an unsuspecting city. With the help of FBI Special Agents, reformed bank robbers, private security consultants, the L.A.P.D. Air Support Division, and architects past and present, the book dissects the built environment from both sides of the law. Whether picking padlocks or climbing the walls of high-rise apartments, finding gaps in a museum's surveillance routine or discussing home invasions in ancient Rome, A Burglar's Guide to the City has the tools, the tales, and the x-ray vision you need to see architecture as nothing more than an obstacle that can be outwitted and undercut. Full of real-life heists-both spectacular and absurd-A Burglar's Guide to the City ensures readers will never enter a bank again without imagining how to loot the vault or walk down the street without planning the perfect getaway.
