Number 57 by Maxwell Hutchinson
"Number 57" is the story of a house and its inhabitants. Accompanying the six-part Channel 4 series, Number 57 will be restored to its original 1779 condition and then updated to show how our homes have changed through the Georgian and Victorian eras, the Arts and Crafts and Art Deco movements to post-war Britain and finally to the 21st century. The house and its occupants act as a manifestation of the social history of each era and this book goes beyond just documenting the history of the house itself. Rather it is a history of the changes in attitudes and technology that have affected the changes in our domestic arrangements. It also includes a comprehensive directory for home owners wanting to recreate the style of each period.
Maxwell Hutchinson is the presenter of Number 57, having previously presented several series on television and radio, most recently, 'Demolition Detectives'. Maxwell is a practising architect and for three years was President of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
