This richly illustrated volume explores the character of pre1940 domestic and agricultural buildings in the towns and rural landscapes of southern New Jersey, Delaware, and coastal Maryland and Virginia.Winner of the Fred Kniffen Prize from the Pioneer America SocietyFrom the eighteenthcentury singleroom 'mansions' of Delaware's Cypress Swamp district to the early twentiethcentury suburban housing around Philadelphia and Wilmington, the architectural landscape of the midAtlantic region is both rich and varied. In this pioneering field guide to the region's historic vernacular architecture, Gabrielle Lanier and Bernard Herman describe the remarkably diverse building traditions that have overlapped and influenced one another for generations.With more than 300 illustrations and photographs, Everyday Architecture of the MidAtlantic explores the character of pre1940 domestic and agricultural buildings in the towns and rural landscapes of southern New Jersey, Delaware, and coastal Maryland and Virginia. Approaching their subject 'archaeologically,' the authors examine the 'layers' of a structure's past to show how it has changed over time and to reveal telling details about its occupants and the community in which they lived. The book provides architectural information as well as a working methodology for anyone wanting to explore and learn from traditional architecture and landscapes.The authors conclude that, as a vital cultural artifact, the distinctive architecture of the midAtlantic needs to be identified, recorded, and preserved. Everyday Architecture of the MidAtlantic gives proof to the insights architecture offers into who we are culturally as a community, a region, and a nation.
