The Architecture of Colonial America sets forth a brief history and an analysis of the architecture of Colonial America, in such a way that they may be of interest and value both to the general reader and to the architect. Architecture is crystallised history. Not only does it represent the life of the past in visible and enduring form, but it also represents one of the most agreeable sides of man's creative activity. Furthermore, if we read a little between the lines, the buildings of former days tell us what manner of men and women lived in them.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Dust Jacket Present. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. First published in 1915, this book is the 1925 printing, 289 pages, illustrated with 63 pages of b&w photos by Mary H. Northend and others. "The architecture of Colonel American will be treated with reference to the close connexion exsisting between architecture and the social and economic circumstances of the period, so that some additional light may fall upon the daily conditions of life among our forefathers. At the same time, there will be a careful critical analysis of the origin and development of the several seventeenth and eighteenth century styles that have left us so wealthy an architectual heritage, and heritage based upon a groundwork of traditions brought across the Atlantic by the early craftsmen and artisans." VERY GOOD HARDCOVER. One of the previous owner signature is M.R. Rogers, Cliff Cottage Climarke, Martha's Vineyard (MA.).
