When I was asked if I would like to review this beautiful book, the answer was by all means! I knew that every page would be not only different, but stunning.

I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, where Bobby McAlpine was a household name. He helped make the city what it is today.  Just take a drive by the Shakespeare Festival, a theater that is dramatic and breathtaking.  The town has much of his work, be it business or homes. He created much of the history there.

Below are just a few of the images in this book, one of three masterpieces, which include his first book, The Home Within Us, and his second book,  Art of the House, written by Bobby McAlpine and Susan Ferrier.  I promise you much beauty here. 
 ENJOY!
