Book Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crescent Books , 1989 "When Americans dream of New England, as they often do, the dream sometimes revolves around Cape Cod cottages with rose-covered picket fences or saltbox farmhouses with walk-in fireplaces.... But there is more to New England than colonial charm. Every architectural fashion that has ever touched America has touched the six New England states, often starting there, always flourishing there." This book shows examples of some of the fine historic homes, from Hamilton House in Maine to Franklin Pierce's Homestead in New Hampshire, Calvin Coolidge's Homestead in Vermont, Hammond Castle and the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site in Massachusetts, Gillette Castle in Connecticut, and The Breakers in Rhode Island. Thirty-four fine old homes are photographed in loving detail. There is no dust jacket, unfortunately. Book is bound in green cloth/paper, with title/author/publisher printed on the spine in gold.
