A classic work on farm buildings made by nineteenth-century New Englanders refreshed with a new introduction. Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn portrays the four essential components of the stately and beautiful connected farm buildings made by nineteenth-century New Englanders. These buildings stand today as a living expression of rural culture, offering insights into the people who made them and their agricultural way of life. A visual delight, as well as an engaging tribute to our nineteenth-century forebears, this book, first published nearly forty years ago, has become one of the standard works on regional farmsteads in America. This latest edition features a new introduction by the author.
Praise for the previous edition: "An unexpected small masterpiece that has some of the suspense of a detective story and, at times, the poignance of deeply felt, sympathetic social history. "--Robert Campbell, Boston Globe Praise for the Previous Edition: "An important pioneering effort. The book commemorates both an unique indigenous architectural expression and a way of life that has become extinct . . . The style is economic and clear and Hubka' s affection for architecture binds the buildings to their people and their times. " * Maine Sunday Times * Praise for the previous edition: "An unexpected small masterpiece that has some of the suspense of a detective story and, at times, the poignance of deeply felt, sympathetic social history. " * Boston Globe * Praise for the Previous Edition: "No matter where you live, you will want this book as a model of vernacular architecture scholarship. " * Vernacular Architecture Newsletter *
