Education & Reference Australiana Architecture & Interior Design
The Federation House by Ian Evans offers a beautifully illustrated look at Australia’s historic homes, blending practical restoration advice with engaging visual content. Ideal for both young adults and adults, this non‑fiction colouring book invites readers to explore architectural details while learning about Australian history and construction.
Evans’s clear, accessible style makes the book a useful reference for anyone interested in house restoration, heritage preservation, or simply enjoying detailed illustrations. The work sits comfortably within the Business, Economics & Industry and Leisure, Hobbies & Lifestyle categories, appealing to readers seeking personal and professional development in the field.
The volume arrives with its original dust jacket, though there is a small chip/tear on the jacket of the companion title Caring For Old Houses. Inside, the first two pages show light foxing at the join, but the pages are otherwise clean, tidy, and free of writing. The binding remains tight and the book has been kept in a smoke‑free home.
