Description:Excerpt from Historic Buildings of America: As Seen and Described by Famous Writers; With Numerous Illustrations In response to requests for a book on American buildings on the plan of my Turrets Towers and Temples Romantic Castles and Palaces, Historic Buildings, etc., I have endeavoured to gather here a number of houses, churches, forts and civic buildings that are doubly famous for their architectural interest and their association with historical events and distinguished personages. I have also included two monuments, - the Washington and the Statue of Liberty. Of houses associated with Washington, I have selected Mount Vernon, Fraunces Tavern, the Hasbrook House at Newburg and the Morris-Jumel house, and to these the White House might be added, since he interested himself in the plans for it and even made a personal visit of inspection in 1792. I have included a few simple houses that are types of the homes of the past and have become pilgrimage places to those who delight in reconstructing the social life of other days. Among these, the Whipple House is one of the best specimens of New England domestic architecture of the Seventeenth Century extant, and, having been judiciously restored, is now a museum of antiquities. Other New England types are represented by the Old Manse at Concord and the Clarke-Hancock house at Lexington.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
