About the Item
A Simpler Way of Life: Old Farmhouses of New York
New England, Stated 1st Ed. This book celebrates a rich and time-honored tradition in American architecture: the farmhouse. Nowhere in America is this tradition more evocative and venerable than in New York and New England, where Dutch, English, French, and Scotch settlers created an extraordinary legacy of simple one and two story structures dating from the seventeenth century.
The houses shown are forthright, sturdy, and built by carpenters and masons rather than architects and stand as enduring tributes to pragmatic, handcrafted design and the resourceful use of local, natural materials. They also stand as cherished, comfort-giving homes to current generations of owners, many of whom have sensitively adapted them for life in the twenty-first century. The striking color photography by Trevor Tondro and text by William Morgan, this book documents 19 examples of this folk form. The structures featured were built over the course of a century of American history, with each property expressing its own personality through regional traditions, period styles, building materials, and the imprint of the owners past and present. A Simpler Way of Life is a book for architects, designers, historians, preservationists, and anyone who wishes to learn more about this classic American form. This book is a reminder that the old, honest country house is not only as inviting and beautiful as the grandest of homes, but is endowed with a grace and humanity unmatched by any other form of domestic architecture.
