Description:The newest "must-have" book on Newburyport architecture, The HABS and the HABs Nots: Documenting the Architecture of Newburyport in the Historic American Buildings Survey takes a look back at the wide-ranging federal program that advanced historic preservation throughout the U.S. in the 1930s. The large-format case-bound volume presents the crisp analog photos and elegant measured drawings for the many HABS surveys in Newburyport, the small city 40 miles north of Boston especially known for the riches of its authentic 18th- and 19th-century domestic architecture. The "HABs Nots" Gallery, celebrating the more modest historic homes, then looks at the future of preservation in the once down-and-out but rejuvenated city. Newburyport's smaller-footprint historic homes, never the subject of the attention lavished upon its Georgian and Federal-style showplaces, fill the city's 750-acre National Register Historic District and contribute to its ambiance. Yet their authenticity is at the greatest risk of being lost to the "march of progress." For additional context, the book includes chapters on the economic history of Newburyport; the origin of the HABS program; and other efforts at architectural documentation, both before and after the HABS surveys. Also included is an illustrated guide to 300 years of house styles in Newburyport, plus a bibliography-by-topic for history enthusiasts and preservation advocates.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
