This book covers the years 1902 to 1906, during the time that the brothers created their architectural vocabulary. It starts and ends with the same house, the Duncan-Irwin house of 1906, which represents the first completely expressed statement of the architectural vision developed by the Greenes. It was with this house, with its serpentine wall of clinker brick and cobblestone, its graceful gabled rooflines with broad overhangs, its rhythmic pattern of rafter tails, leaded art glass and Japonesque lanterns, that Charles and Henry finally wove together the unified fabric that would come to be called the Greene & Greene style.
