Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the genesis of Dutch colonial houses, examining the evolution of materials and forms under various cultural influences. The author takes us on a journey through the development of this architectural style, from its origins in simple stone structures to the later addition of overhanging roofs, columns, and other ornamental features. The author explores the interplay of materials and cultural traditions that shaped the Dutch colonial style, showcasing how the use of local red sandstone, wood, and stucco varied across regions. The book also discusses the evolution of roof shapes, noting the transition from single-pitched to gambrel roofs, and the incorporation of dormers and other elements to increase space and natural light. The author provides a wealth of photographic examples to illustrate the diverse expressions of Dutch colonial architecture, from farmhouses to grander country estates. Through these examples, the book highlights the unique characteristics of the style, including its emphasis on long, low silhouettes, the interplay of vertical and horizontal lines, and the harmonious use of materials. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of American architecture and the evolution of the Dutch colonial style. Its insights into the origins, development, and regional variations of this style make it an essential read for architects, historians, and anyone fascinated by the enduring legacy of Dutch colonial architecture in America.
