Description
95 Percent Perfect, the older residences at Nantucket viewed and analyzed, is a study by Everett Crosby, with copyright in 1937. Its title takes a phrase used decades before for the dwelling house architecture of the old town of Nantucket. Crosby holds that the phrase has since been generally accepted, and that it names the feeling most visitors have there.
The contents run from periods and the doing over of old houses to a census of houses and a picture of the typical house. Drawings show window frames, altered houses, and details from roofs to front doorways. Crosby also prints accounts of Nantucket by visitors from 1772 onward, and closes with pages of photographs of the old houses themselves.
