A Guide to Early American Homes -North is the first book to cover completely 950 rewarding old houses from Maine to Delaware, from Cape Cod to Wisconsin and Illinois. It includes Sturbridge, Shelburne, Deerfield, and other villages restored by expert and untiring research. It provides you with accurate schedules of house tours and pilgrimages. You are given full information on the historic museum houses and villages - how to get there, days and hoursof admission, entrance fees, outstanding features, and so on. Moreover, it lists the many private homes which you may visit by unprecedented invitation. With the Guide to call your attention to their noteworthy features, you will not overlook a single example of exquisite craftsmanship and taste.
Here you may study and compare the famous open houses and hitherto unlisted, yet often more interesting, homes in the Northern states. They are different as were the men who created them. You will marvel at the flying double staircase and mantelpiece, said to have been inspired by an angel, in Columbia Falls, Maine; the Georgian fathat so perfectly reveals Lady Pepperrell's aristocratic taste; America's rich store of late eighteenth-century woodwork in Rhode Island; the Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens that are a match for modern functionalism; and hundreds of other truly superb achievements in the design, furnishings, and gardens of our early homes. Thanks to the authors' discriminating appraisal of each house, the Guide is an enduring reference book. It will give added authority to your evaluation of antiques and your use of them in your own home.
