Santa Barbara. For centuries this temperate, inviting locale has glowed with subtle but unmistakable light-- a beacon of warmth beside the profound blue of the Pacific. From the Chumash, whose predecessors can be traced to 11,000 b.c.e., to the present-day resident, vacationer, and tourist, diverse and countless peoples have been enchanted and enraptured by Santa Barbara's spell.
In Santa Barbara Style, author Kathryn Masson and photographer James Chen, invoke this magic and invite us to walk with them through winding and abundant gardens, onto the grounds of grand estates, and into the great houses of this region. Here we find the work of such architectural luminaries as Addison Mizner, Bertram Goodhue, and Reginald D. Johnson. We wander from the historic adobe mansion Casa de la Guerra-- built in the early-nineteenth century by town patriarch Jose de la Guerra-- to the spectacular, and aptly named, Villa Lucia (House of the Light)-- built in 1989. We are given an intimate look at George Washington Smith's Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece, Casa del Herrero; and a broad view of Lotusland, the thirty-seven acre horticultural paradise. With each turn of the page, we see the beauty, grace, and style of Santa Barbara.
Kathryn Masson, author and former long-time resident of Santa Barbara, is deeply committed to the Santa Barbara preservation community. She was a member of Santa Barbara's Historic Landmarks Commission-- serving for six years as chairman of both the Landmark Designation Committee and the Awards Committee; as well, she has been on the board of the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. She is co-author with Patricia Gebhard of the recently published Santa Barbara County Courthouse.
The photographs are outstanding. This book is a great resource for anyone who is looking for ideas for interior design, or for landscape design. Great coffee table book too.
Such a beautiful book, recommended by architects for ideas on building a real Spanish Colonial or Revival house. The landscape designs are fantastic as well.
T this book is by far the most remarkable home photography. Santa Barbara has excellent architecture, but this will exceed your expectations. Buy it - you won't be disappointed.

There’s simply no place like Santa Barbara! Nestled along a narrow shelf of California’s’ golden shore, beneath the weeping Santa Ynez Mountains, this much admired city is blessed with a style and substance all its own. A superb Mediterranean climate and a rich and romantic cultural heritage have produced a city where Spanish, Mexican and early California traditions blend perfectly into a relaxed and vibrant community.
“Santa Barbara Photographs,” a local artist’s eloquent portrait of this splendid city is a lavishly produced visual celebration. Over 170 remarkable color images explore Santa Barbara’s architecture, its creative community, world class art, shopping and dining, festivals and special events. With section on the neighborhood communities of Montecito, Carpinteria, and Goleta and an excursion to the nearby wine country of Santa Ynez Valley, this is a beautiful tribute to a true American paradise.

This is a labor of love. From the turn of the century to the present day, it has at least one photo of every building of significance and by every prominent architect of Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Hope Ranch. There are many buildings by local architects as well as by famous ones. Also, the landscape architect is listed when that is appropriate. Santa Barbara is the most beautiful place. For those readers who love architecture, this is a must have book: Mission style, Bungalow style, Spanish Revival, Mission Revival, Hacienda, Classical, Modern, Prairie Style, Californian, all are represented here. More importantly, the homes (mostly, but many government buildings are shown also), were commissioned by clients with the money to make the scale of the project majestic enough to last the ages. For those who have not had the great pleasure is being inside beautiful homes, and this affords us a chance to see buildings that we ordinarily never would. Buy this book and have many years of browsing and dreaming.
Santa Barbara Architecture, From Spanish Colonial to Modern, is a wonderful informative book for this genre of architecture. It is a survey book, following lovely homes and businesses for blocks and blocks of neighborhoods in Santa Barbara. If you are an architectural student, you will find it very informative and correct. Spanish detailing is abundant. It's well worth the price just for the information.
The text accompanying the photos by Patricia Halloran is refreshingly factual (rather than art-speak) although very brief. Most of the photos are excellent although all are still in black and white. For those wishing to view the actual buildings, street addresses are given in Santa Barbara proper, but not for those in the "royalty regions" of Hope Ranch and Montecito.
