Download or read book Sea-captains' Houses and Rose-covered Cottages written by Margaret Moore Booker and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With photography, line drawings, and stories, this book captures the architectural history of Nantucket Island, on the East Coast. From its days when the Quakers gained a stronghold on the island, distinguishing their homes with an aesthetic of simplicity and superb craftsmanship, Nantucket has been shaped by the character and tradition of those who have designed and inhabited the tiny island. Today, Nantucket's significant cache of historic buildings - from simple lean-to houses to Federal-style mansions to clapboard Victorian summer cottages - are the subject of a preservation movement that serves to protect the island's rich cultural tradition for generations to come." "The book draws upon primary sources, diaries, oral histories, and archived photographs to examine the rich architectural heritage of this designated national treasure. Sea Captains' Houses is a study of the homes that have come to characterize this culturally rich island, making this book appealing to not only Nantucket homeowners but also visitors to the island and all those who admire America's architectural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis A History Through Houses by : Jaci Conry
Download or read book A History Through Houses written by Jaci Conry and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rugged beauty of the Cape's landscape has been captured in writing since the days of Henry David Thoreau. Yet few mention the area's architecture, aside from references to the "Cape Cod houses," the basic cottages that the earliest settlers built. From Provincetown at the northern tip to the village of Woods Hole at the opposite end, the residential architecture of Cape Cod encompasses an extensive range of styles. Scattered among the charming Capes are stately Federals and Greek Revivals built for sea captains, detailed Carpenter Gothic cottages constructed by Methodist camp-goers and sprawling Victorian and Shingle-style summer mansions built during the Gilded Age. Journey with Cape Cod native Jaci Conry as she reveals the architectural influences of different eras on this timeless peninsula.
