The author, George Francis Marlowe (1877- 1955) was born in Norwood, England.  During his childhood, the family moved to Worcester, Massachusetts.  After graduating from Worcester High School, George attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge where he studied architecture, drawing and painting. Early in his career, he worked for two Boston architectural firms, Peabody and Stearns, and Andres, Jacques, and Rantoul.  It was during this period that he designed two buildings for Wellesley College: Hallowell House and Horton House.  In 1922 went to work for Babson College where he designed and built ten buildings. He departed Babson in 1930 moving full time to his own firm which he had established in 1928. The Photographer, Samuel Chamberlain also studied architecture at MIT where he enrolled in 1915. He returned to the program after joining the American Field Services as an ambulance driver during World War I, but never finished his degree. Upon his return from the war, he bounced back and forth between Boston, Seattle, New York, Ann Arbor, and France, before settling in Marblehead, Massachusetts in the 1930s. He published approximately 50 photo-essay books on American and European subjects, as well as combining forces with his wife, Narcissa, to produce several books on the pleasures of the table including Bouquet de France: an Epicurean tour of the French Provinces and Flavor of Italy, in Recipes and Pictures. There is a substantial collection of his work at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Photographs by Samuel Chamberlain (illustrator). 1st Edition. A first printing (1947) of George Francis Marlowe's Churches of Old New England, richly illustrated with Samuel Chamberlain's evocative black and white photographs of New England's most architecturally significant colonial and Federal-era churches. Published by The Macmillan Company, this volume captures the architectural heritage, pastors, congregations, and town histories associated with these landmark meetinghouses. The copyright page clearly states 'First Printing' with no additional impression statements, confirming first edition status. Bound in original black cloth with silver spine lettering, the book includes striking photographic endpapers (front and rear), tight internal sewing, and more than fifty full-page Chamberlain plates documenting structures from Massachusetts to Connecticut. The dust jacket, although worn, remains present and retains its original 1940s Macmillan rear-panel author biographies. Condition: Book is Very Good overall: clean, solid, and square, with bright boards showing only mild rubbing and a few small scattered marks. Interior pages are clean and unmarked, though one section displays a light ripple/crease on a few pages (shown in photos). Binding remains firm with no loose gatherings. The dust jacket is Good: multiple edge chips (notably at the spine ends), surface soiling to panels, and toning to rear panel - typical of Macmillan jackets of this period - yet still attractive. George Francis Marlowe (1891-1974) was a New England architect, educator, and historian whose writings interwove architectural scholarship with local history and narrative charm. A longtime practitioner in Massachusetts, he designed institutional and residential buildings while researching the cultural landscape of early New England. His books including The Old Bay Paths and Coaching Roads of Old New England documented regional architecture with unusual depth and storytelling intuition. Samuel Chamberlain (1895-1975) was one of America's most respected architectural photographers. Originally trained as an etcher and illustrator, he developed a distinctive artistic eye that brought clarity, texture, and reverence to his subjects. His photographic tours of New England produced more than twenty celebrated volumes, each prized for its combination of documentary precision and atmospheric beauty. Chamberlain's images in this book are a defining feature of its enduring appeal.
