The western wing never had a chimney, the rooms having been principally used by the hired men as sleeping apartments. Although con nected with the main part by a door, it stands as a separate house, being built up against the older structure, as may be seen by an examination of the cellar. (this wing is supposed to have been built about I654.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Country House Perhaps one of the greatest charms of an old house is the number of superseded contrivances which it contains, na'ive engines of the antique domestic economy long since improved upon, the apparatus of methods no longer a part of the living science of existence. That powdered wigs are no longer common, are, in fact, seldom worn nowadays, by no means subtracts from our de light in the powdering closet attached to Perdita's bedroom, with the hole in the door through which the fine lady or gentleman meekly placed her or his head as on a block, so that the great puffs should not shower their whiteness over the whole exquisite figure. I am sure we are far happier in it than if we actually put it to its proper use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial and Old Houses, of Greenwich, New Jersey The great interest in later years to everything pertaining to the early history of our country has been an incentive to write the history of the colonial and old houses of Greenwich. The old town having been the place of my nativity, and home for many years, it has been my privilege to cross the threshold of many of the ancient houses, some of them the homes of valued friends, from whom I have learned much of the past. I have prepared the following pages with much care, endeavoring to preserve some of the history of that portion of the past which pertains to the home of the early settler. From the early records of deeds and wills preserved in the archives of the state, and now accessible by their publication, I have found names and dates not otherwise obtainable. I also wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, for the use of its valuable library. It is hoped that these glimpses of days long gone, and the record of men and women who have made the old houses their dwelling place, may be of interest to the present generation, who should hold as a precious inheritance the memory of their ancestors, the early settlers of Greenwich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old New England Houses New England colonists were not of a class content to live in so rude a manner. Lumber, both hand sawed and mill-sawed, was produced soon after their arrival. The earliest mill of which I find record was erected in the vicinity of Portsmouth in 1631 by a man named Gibbons. But the output of the little mills of the early days was limited in quan tity, and a number of generations passed before the log hut disappeared. As the pioneers pushed their way, year after year, into the interior, northward and westward, they built in western Massachusetts, in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, log cabins such as were built in an earlier day in the coast settlements and along the valleys of the larger rivers. For them, as for the first settlers, shelter was a re quirement second only to food, and the readiest means of meeting the necessity was the cutting, hewing, and piling of logs from the surrounding forest. Even after the operation of sawmills, much of the heavier framing timber was hewn from logs. This is often revealed when the old houses are torn down or altered.

Download or read book Old Colonial Houses in Maine written by Emma Huntington Nason and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Colonial Houses in Maine: Built Prior to 1776 The sketches in this volume present a brief record of some of the old colonial houses that are now standing in Maine, and that were built prior to 1776. The work does not profess to be complete in its lists, nor exhaustive in its details, but rather to describe certain buildings that represent the development of the early colonial dwelling from the ancient log garrison house and first framed cottage to the grandest of our colonial mansions, and to give, if possible, a brief glimpse into the lives of the people who converted these houses into homes. Many of the houses now popularly known as old colonial do not, however, fall within our period; for they were not erected until after the Revolution. The three decades from 1790 to 1820, during which peace and prosperity became assured in Maine, were rich in stately homes built on the best colonial models; and examples of these houses are now found in nearly all of our coast and river towns. Such houses, however, since they are not truly colonial, are necessarily excluded from our present consideration. If the following sketches give to the reader a characteristic picture of our early colonial homes and of the life of the men and women who dwelt therein, the mission of the book will be fulfilled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Helen of the Old House But it has come to pass that in these days when the people speak of Adam Ward they do not smile. When they speak of Adam Wards daughter, Helen, they smile, indeed, but with quite a different meaning. The history of Millsburgh is not essentially different from that of a thousand other cities of its class. Born of the natural resources of the hills and forests, the first rude mill was located on that wide sweeping bend of the river. About this industrial beginning a settlement gathered. As the farm lands of the valley were developed, the railroad came, bringing more mills. And so the town grew up around its smoky heart. It was in those earlier days that Adam Ward, a workman then, patented and introduced the new process. It was the new process, together with its owners native genius for "getting on" that, in time, made Adam the owner of the Mill. And, finally, it was this combination of Adam and the new process that gave this one mill dominion over all others. As the Mill increased hi size, importance and power, and the town grew into the city, Adam Wards material possessions were multiplied many times. Then came the year of this story. It was midsummer.

Download or read book Alaska in the Progressive Age written by Thomas Alton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alaska emerged from obscurity in the late 1890s, and the growth of its population and economy occurred during an era of Progressive change when the centers of power were shifting from giant business conglomerates to government-mandated regulation and socio-economic reform. The territory benefitted greatly, but progress arrived piecemeal over the course of decades. The pioneers were eager to see Alaska develop. They wanted systems of transportation, communication, and effective law, and they wanted them now. When Congress was slow to act, Alaskans responded with cries of neglect and abuse, and those complaints festered and persisted. Such feelings were not wrong or misplaced. Alaskans living in the moment had no way of peering into the future. But from today's perspective we can see that over time Alaska as both a territory and a state has been enriched far more than neglected or abused by the United States government. The journalist and the historian view the same events through different colored glasses. Each writer brings a unique point of view, and it is these fresh interpretations that keep history alive and vital."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Glebe House at Woodbury and Its Historic Background The Old Glebe House in Woodbury has for years past been the property of the Diocese of. Connecticut. During these years committees have been appointed and attempts have been made from time to time to make use of the old house for philanthropic or historical purposes, but all such efforts have been unsuccessful. In November, 1922, however, Bishop Acheson appointed a new committee Whose duty it should be to make one more attempt to save this interesting house from, the decay or destruction which has, alas, swept away so many of the old colonial houses of New England. Since this new revival of interest in the house architects, after careful examination, have decided that it shows two distinct periods of construct1on. In their opinion it was originally built as a one -room house about the latter half of the seventeenth century. The porch and chimney, together with the upper and lower rooms at their left, seem to have been the original part. About 1750 the other two rooms at the right of the chimney were added together with the large kitchen which extends across the back. The Whole was then roofed over making the one typically colonial-house that we see today. The chimney is of cobble stones and uncapped the roof gambrel in front sloping in a gambrel curve at the back over the lean-to kitchen. A second lean-to and shed are now at the back of the house which are evidently a very late addition and in the restoration will be removed. The usual clump of old lilacs clusters about One corner while fine trees cast their shade over its roof. Within, much of the original panelling may still be seen and much that is very good, particularly in the lower room at the left of the porch where the election of Samuel Seabury occurred. In a closet under the stairs may be seen the sliding panel through which it is said that the royalist rector, the Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, who resided in the house at the time of the Revolution, used to slip into the cellar when surprised by his Whig enemies.
