Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When this book was first published in the mid-1950s, the author was concerned that such functional structures as the American barn and the covered bridge would soon give way to progress and be replaced by ""modern"" elements. Today, a number of these sturdy, beautifully proportioned barns and bridges are still standing - monuments to the skill and keen eye of their original builders. This lovingly written book, accompanied by more than 75 of the author's own sketches, provides a reliable record of those vanishing forms of architecture. Accurate line drawings depict a variety of barns, such as those in Maine, attached to houses; an ""open"" log barn in Virginia, and a ""top hat"" barn in North Carolina. Covered bridges - like barns, built for soundness and endurance - are also illustrated, among them a saltbox structure in New England, a bridge with a pedestrian walkway in rural New York State, and a 10-span-long bridge at Clark's Ferry, Pennsylvania. Possessing a deep feeling for what might be called the Age of Wood, the author writes with ""warmth and astonishing comprehension."" - New York Herald Tribune Book Review. Americana enthusiasts and lovers of these traditional symbols of early American life will delight in this priceless tribute to a bygone era. Over 75 black-and-white illustrations. Lovingly written book, accompanied by the author's own sketches, depicts Maine-styled barns attached to houses, an "open" log barn in Virginia, a 2,088-foot covered bridge at Clark's Ferry, Pennsylvania, and a host of other structures.
