Book excerpt: "These Are The Good Old Days"By Raymond P. Day and David C. BarksdaleEvery small town in America has a history. "These Are The Good Old Days" traces four generations of one family and the effect that family had on the architecture of New Albany, Indiana. For seven decades I've been exposed to the buildings and homes my ancestors built. I am the son of a fourth generation member of the family and following the death of my father in 1998 it was evident that the story of my woodworking family should be recorded--their four generations of spirit, faith and determination. From Bernkastel, Germany, to both Lanesville and New Albany, Indiana, this family planted roots, lived life and constructed commercial buildings and residences. Architecture is a reflection of the people and their times. Since my family was involved in construction for many decades, my curiosity focused on the actual buildings and homes for which they were responsible. Floyd County (Indiana) Historian, David Barksdale, became a partner on the project because of his masterful knowledge and understanding of the local architecture. His respect for those who created our urban landscape and his eye for detail and historical chronology bring a tremendous depth and richness to the story of the structures created by the Day family. Gathering, scanning and sharing images of the past became considerably easier with the advent of the digital age. Therefore, over 300 photos are spread throughout the text. They help bring to life the people, stories and historical details presented within.PART I tells the personal history of the Day family--a story that begins with the family's immigration to America in 1848. PART II documents every non-residential project the family was involved in from 1888 through 1923. PART III documents the history of every known residential construction by the family business, S. Day & Sons, and includes many family stories along the way. PART IV contains memories shared by family members.From origins in Bernkastel, Germany, to participation in the growth of both Lanesville and New Albany, Indiana, the legacy of this hard-working family is revealed. Here is the story of one family and an album of their photos; the faces, homes, and fruits of their labors. Readers learn of their joys and successes as well as their constant faith through devastating disasters and agonizing losses; a unique ancestral thread extending from 1848 to 1977. "These Are The Good Old Days" has been authorized by the New Albany Bicentennial Committee as an official work of the city's 200th anniversary and publication coincides with the 2013 New Albany, Indiana, Bicentennial Celebration.Raymond Day

Book Synopsis Southern Splendor by : Marc R. Matrana
Download or read book Southern Splendor written by Marc R. Matrana and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few things evoke thoughts and memories of the past more than a house from a bygone era, and few places are identified and symbolized more by historic dwellings than the American South. Plantation houses built with columned porticos and wide porches, stout chimneys, large rooms, and sweeping staircases survive as legacies of both a storied and troubled past. These homes are at the heart of a complex web of human relationships that have shaped the social and cultural heritage of the region for generations. Despite their commanding appearance, the region's plantation houses have proven to be fragile relics of history, vulnerable to decay, neglect, and loss. Today, only a small percentage of the South's antebellum treasures survive. In Southern Splendor: Saving Architectural Treasures of the Old South, historians Marc R. Matrana, Robin S. Lattimore, and Michael W. Kitchens explore almost fifty houses built before the Civil War that have been authentically restored or preserved. Methodically examined are restoration efforts that preserve not only homes and other structures, but also the stories of those living in or occupying those homes. The authors discuss the challenges facing specific plantation homes and their preservation. Featuring over 275 stunning photographs, as well as dozens of firsthand accounts and interviews with those involved in the preservation of these historic properties, Southern Splendor describes the leading role the South has played, since the nineteenth century, in the historic preservation movement in this country.

Book Synopsis Domesticating History by : Patricia West
Download or read book Domesticating History written by Patricia West and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the lives of famous men and women, historic house museums showcase restored rooms and period furnishings, and portray in detail their former occupants' daily lives. But behind the gilded molding and curtain brocade lie the largely unknown, politically charged stories of how the homes were first established as museums. Focusing on George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, and the Booker T. Washington National Monument, Patricia West shows how historic houses reflect less the lives and times of their famous inhabitants than the political pressures of the eras during which they were transformed into museums.
Book Synopsis The Architecture of Downtown Troy by : Diana S. Waite
Download or read book The Architecture of Downtown Troy written by Diana S. Waite and published by Rensselaer County Historical Society. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 Antoinette Forrester Downing Book Award presented by the Society of Architectural Historians Winner of the 2020 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award presented by the Preservation League of New York State Located about 150 miles north of Manhattan, on the east bank of the Hudson River, the city of Troy, New York, was once an industrial giant. It led the nation in iron production throughout much of the nineteenth century, and its factories turned out bells and cast-iron stoves that were sold the world over. Its population was both enterprising and civic-minded. Along with Troy's economic success came the public, commercial, educational, residential, and religious buildings to prove it. Stores, banks, churches, firehouses, and schools, both modest and sophisticated, sprouted up in the latest architectural styles, creating a lively and fashionable downtown. Row houses and brownstones for the middle class and the wealthy rivaled those in Brooklyn and Manhattan. By the mid-twentieth century, however, Troy had dwindled in both prominence and population. Downtown stagnated, leaving building facades and interiors untouched, often for decades. A late-blooming urban-renewal program demolished many blocks of buildings, but preservationists fought back. Today, reinvestment is accelerating, and Troy now boasts what the New York Times has called "one of the most perfectly preserved nineteenth-century downtowns in the United States." This book tells the stories behind the many handsome and significant buildings in downtown Troy and how they were designed and constructed—stories that have never been pulled together before. For the first time in generations, scores of Troy buildings are again linked with their architects, some local but others from out of town (the "starchitects" of their day) and even from Europe. In addition to numerous historic images, the book also includes contemporary photographs by local photographer Gary Gold. This book will inform, delight, and surprise readers, thereby helping to build an educated constituency for the preservation of an important American city.

Book Synopsis New York's Historic Armories by : Nancy L. Todd
Download or read book New York's Historic Armories written by Nancy L. Todd and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2007 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award presented by the Preservation League of New York State Winner of the 2007 Building Typology Award presented by the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America New York's Army National Guard armories are among the most imposing monuments to the role of the citizen soldier in American military history. In New York's Historic Armories, Nancy L. Todd draws on archival research as well as historic and contemporary photographs and drawings to trace the evolution of the armory as a specific building type in American architectural and military history. The result of a ten-year collaboration between the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs, this illustrated history presents information on all known armories in the state as well as the units associated with them, and will serve as a valuable reference for readers interested in general, military, and architectural history. Built to house local units of the state's volunteer militia, armories served as arms storage facilities, clubhouses for the militiamen, and civic monuments symbolizing New York's determination to preserve domestic law and order through military might. Approximately 120 armories were built in New York State from the late eighteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, and most date from the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when the National Guard was America's primary domestic peacekeeper during the post–Civil War era of labor-capital unrest. Together, New York's armories chronicle the history of the volunteer militia, from its emergence during the early Republican Era, through its heyday during the Gilded Age as the backbone of the American military system, to its early twentieth-century role as the nation's primary armed reserve force.

Book Synopsis Historic Real Estate by : Whitney Martinko
Download or read book Historic Real Estate written by Whitney Martinko and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed study of early historical preservation efforts between the 1780s and the 1850s In Historic Real Estate, Whitney Martinko shows how Americans in the fledgling United States pointed to evidence of the past in the world around them and debated whether, and how, to preserve historic structures as permanent features of the new nation's landscape. From Indigenous mounds in the Ohio Valley to Independence Hall in Philadelphia; from Benjamin Franklin's childhood home in Boston to St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina; from Dutch colonial manors of the Hudson Valley to Henry Clay's Kentucky estate, early advocates of preservation strove not only to place boundaries on competitive real estate markets but also to determine what should not be for sale, how consumers should behave, and how certain types of labor should be valued. Before historic preservation existed as we know it today, many Americans articulated eclectic and sometimes contradictory definitions of architectural preservation to work out practical strategies for defining the relationship between public good and private profit. In arguing for the preservation of houses of worship and Indigenous earthworks, for example, some invoked the "public interest" of their stewards to strengthen corporate control of these collective spaces. Meanwhile, businessmen and political partisans adopted preservation of commercial sites to create opportunities for, and limits on, individual profit in a growing marketplace of goods. And owners of old houses and ancestral estates developed methods of preservation to reconcile competing demands for the seclusion of, and access to, American homes to shape the ways that capitalism affected family economies. In these ways, individuals harnessed preservation to garner political, economic, and social profit from the performance of public service. Ultimately, Martinko argues, by portraying the problems of the real estate market as social rather than economic, advocates of preservation affirmed a capitalist system of land development by promising to make it moral.
