Produktinformationen zu „A Home Called New England (ePub)“
New England is the oldest and most influential region of America. Although it has changed much through the centuries, it remains a place that even the Colonials may still recognize. Through a collection of photos, illustrations, history, and stories, this book explores the architectural history of New England and how, although it has changed much through the centuries, it remains a place that even the Colonials might still recognize.
The book begins with the influence of climate and geography on the architectural choices and follows with the basics of the well-known New England homes--the cape, the saltbox, the colonial--all of which were created to serve the very specific needs of this corner of America, the people, the land and the climate. We look at the earliest settlers, understanding the challenges they faced, and follow their descendants as they convert and adapt the traditional New England home into something still clearly New England but different, newer and, ultimately, even modern. We watch how the people and houses evolve and how they become what are still clearly identifiable as New England--and all over New England, from Connecticut's Gold Coast to the rocky shores of Maine.
Sprinkled throughout the story of this evolution are sidebars such as A New England State of Mind and I Live Here, etc… where we meet the quintessential New England personalities and characters, who speak through letters, epitaphs, remembrances, books, newspapers, and others, and hear and see in their own words and images what they make or made of this place and life in it.
People who buy this book will enjoy a very visual sense of what it's like to be a New Englander and what it's like to live in New England--whose houses have been copied and adapted in every state, city and neighborhood of America.
