"Environmental artist Alice Weston photographed many of the houses in this collection in the 1990s for the publication Great Houses of the Queen City : Two Hundred Years of Historic and Contemporary Architecture and Interiors in Cincinnati, text by Walter E. Langsam, 1997.  This collection of over 1400 images includes not only the photographs seen in the book, but many more interior and exterior views as well as other properties not included in the publication."

"Whereas pictures can be satisfactorily represented in two dimensions on a computer screen, space -- especially Gothic space -- demands a different approach, one which embraces not only the architectonic volume but also time and narrative. Mapping Gothic France... seeks to establish linkages between the architectural space of individual buildings, geo-political space, and the social space resulting from the interaction... [between] builders and users. Our intention has been... to provide the user of the site with new ways to understand the relationship of hundreds of buildings conventionally described as 'Gothic' -- in terms of sameness and difference, found in the forms of multiple buildings within a defined period of time and space that corresponds to the advent of the nation of France."
