Buildings of the United States
The latest volume in the Society of Architectural Historians' prestigious Buildings of the United States series, this book is the first book to document the state's architectural history from all perids. Extensively illustrated with photographs and maps, and supplemented by a glassary and bibliography, the volume covers buildings of many styles, types, and materials, from grand mansion to vernacular structures, and from urban to rural settings. The noted architectural historian W. Barksdale Maynard spent much of 2002 through 2004 canvassing the rich cultural heritage of the state and investigating its relationship to the built environment--from an ancient Dutch dike of 1660 to a cutting-edge cable-stay bridge recently completed, from colonial smokehouses in the countryside of Kent County to a rare, intact, International Sytle 1940s elementary school in the city of Wilmington. Among the architectural forms discussed are industrial and agricultural buildings and structures that characterize the state's rivers, canals, and shoreline, from gristmills to bridges and lighthouses. Major cities such as Newark and Wilmington areconsidered at length, with entries on homes, churches, schools, and government buildings, and the state's natural landscape, parks, and such renowned gardens as Winterthur are also described. This book will provide scholars with valuable information on the architecture of the state, and will spark the imagination of general readers and local historians as well.
