Everyday Architecture of the Mid-Atlantic

Looking at Buildings and Landscapes

Beschreibung

From the eighteenth-century single-room 'mansions' of Delaware's Cypress Swamp district to the early-twentieth-century suburban housing around Philadelphia and Wilmington, the architectural landscape of the mid-Atlantic region is both rich and varied. In this pioneering field guide to the region's historic vernacular architecture, Gabrielle Lanier and Bernard Herman describe the remarkably diverse building traditions that have overlapped and influenced one another for generations.
