Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 224 pp; illus. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket. Stone Houses: Traditional Homes of Pennsylvania's Bucks County and Brandywine Valley is a unique presentation of beloved building traditions in one of the most charming and historically significant regions in the nation. Houses, barns, and outbuildings dating from the colonial and Federal periods, built with local stone predominantly in an English Cotswold vernacular style, represent a form that has become popular across the nation. Geoffrey Gross's stunning photographs document a remarkable collection of early buildings, including the John Chad House (circa 1720), Peter Wentz Farmstead (circa 1758), and Buckingham Friends Meeting House (1768), as well as more recent designs, in part inspired by such traditional homes, by architects R. Brognard Okie, G. Edwin Brumbaugh, and John D. Milner. Part of the original Pennsylvania Colony founded in March of 1681 by William Penn, the region encompassing Bucks County and the Brandywine Valley is important not only for its history as an early English settlement in the New World, but also for its role as a crucial site in the struggle for American independence. The evidence for this is obvious in the story of its houses. Some notable examples include the Thompson-Neely House at Washington Crossing, in which, it is said, Washington's officers were billeted during the famous night of his crossing of the Delaware, and Pennsbury Manor, the reconstructed home of William Penn. With its authoritative text and exquisite full-color photography, Stone Houses is a beautiful record of a historically rich regional building tradition.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A comprehensive architectural and cultural study of Dutch American barns across New Jersey and southern New York, on the basis of nearly 50 years of fieldwork and archival research. This authoritative volume presents an in-depth exploration of the Dutch American barn tradition, examining its origins, evolution, and enduring legacy from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Through extensive documentation and visual analysis, The Historic Dutch American Barns of New Jersey and Southern New York details the varied barn types found in the region-including the three-aisle, one-aisle, derivative, and Dutch-Anglo forms-and the timber-framing techniques, forest resources, and architectural details that defined them. Author Gregory D. Huber, a leading scholar and researcher of vernacular American architecture, draws upon decades of firsthand field surveys and historical comparison. His study connects the barns to their environmental context, exploring how early settlers transformed forest resources into lasting agricultural structures that shaped the rural landscape. Key Features: . Field-Based Research: Derived from over 45 years of site visits and archival documentation. . Structural Typologies: Identifies and compares all major Dutch American barn types. . Technical Analysis: Examines timber species, joinery, and design evolution. . Regional Focus: Concentrates on New Jersey and southern New York's distinctive barn forms. . Cultural Context: Interprets barns within the settlement history of Dutch Americans. Drawing from rich visual material, statistical comparisons, and regional studies, this work provides an essential reference for historians, preservationists, architects, and all who value the intersection of vernacular design, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. AUTHOR: Gregory D. Huber is a barn and house historian, consultant, and owner of Past Perspectives and Eastern Barn Consultants-historic cultural resource companies. He has authored more than 210 articles on house and barn architecture and is coauthor of two books and author of The Historic Barns of Southeastern Pennsylvania: Architecture & Preservation, Built 17501900 by Schiffer Publishing.
