Take a lighthearted look at the rich architectural heritage of our charming lakeside village. Essex, New York Architecture: A Doodler’s Field Guide features 34 historic Essex buildings and explores prevalent architectural styles through hand doodled facades and design details. The Essex architecture ebook and print edition include more than 200 illustrations by Geo Davis and a map to orient you as you explore.

“Doodle challenges” invite you to consider and interact with the architecture in a new way, offering a refreshing complement to didactic guides and lectures. Creating your own doodles will stimulate your curiosity and expand your perception. Suddenly you’ll start to notice telltale architectural styles and embellishments everywhere you turn!

Sometimes a doodle can teach you more than a dissertation. Or at least it can awaken your wonder and imagination. (Source: Essex, New York Architecture: A Doodler’s Field Guide, page 8)

Whether this is your first or your hundred and first encounter with Essex architecture, immersing and experimenting is not for reiterating what you already know. It’s for exploring and discovering what you don’t know. (Source: Essex, New York Architecture: A Doodler’s Field Guide, page 5)
