Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Manor Houses The Manor house was the house built on these estates, recorded in Domesday, in which the lord of the Manor lived; and in many cases that Manor house remains to -day, architecturally, at any rate, very much in the same state as it was in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. From these houses I have selected but a few, not because there was a dearth of subject, but because, as I stayed at each, I found such an enormous mass of material for the making of pictures, and so much that I hope will interest the reader, that it was impossible to include more than six of them in a book the size of which had already been fixed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of an Old Manor-House: Sutton Place, Guildford One by one the old buildings of our country are perishing by accident, neglect, or wanton destruction their memory passes away, and their place knows them no more. When the passion for covering this island with railways and factories shall have done its worst, our great-grandchildren will hardly possess a fragment of the older work to recall to their eyes the beauty and the life of England in the past. And so it becomes a sort of social duty for those to whom chance has thrown it in their path to preserve such wreckage of old things as the tempest of change has left -any relic that they find still mouldering in the flotsam and jetsam of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes of New England Tm: study of Old houses grows in interest with each additional discovery of good material, such as can be found in the old New England towns and cities, more especially those along the seacoast. The preservation Of these Old houses has done much to give us correct ideas' of the interiors, though many of these, with the change of owners, have been stripped of their colonial furnishings. Most of the houses that are shown in this book are private homes which have been opened by the owners to allow pictured representations of correct ancestral furnishing. Houses such as these possess the great est charm - ancestral homes that have descended from generation to generation in the same family since their founding. It has been a great pleasure to be allowed to visit these old mansions, which show wonderful staircases, richly carved mantels, and colonial windows, each one of which is an architectural gem. Through pictured homes like these one is given a deeper interest in the early life of our country and realizes more than ever before what the colonial period stood for in home building.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Mansions of Maryland and Delaware Some people collect old furniture, some old books. I for many years have been a collector of old houses within easy travelling distance of my home in Balti more, and the best of my finds are to be found in this book. He who would collect old houses must possess much enthusiasm, a determination that will not be dis couraged, and a fine power of walking. Fully one-half of the points that he visits because of hearsay will be found to be without interest, and of the others that he seeks out only a few insignificant facts will at first be ascertainable. A continual source of surprise to one who searches for colonial homes is how little is known about them even in the immediate neighborhood in which they have stood for so many years.
