Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wood, Brick and Stone is the first comprehensive treatment of the evolution of North American folk architecture. Richly illustrated with 560 floor plans, drawings, and photographs, this two-volume work discusses houses, barns, and other rural landscape features and traces the process of cultural diffusion that accompanied settlement of the continent. Folk architecture includes structures and buildings of all types, as well as items such as equipment and handicrafts. Methods of land division, shape and size of fields, arrangement of houses and other buildings, and modes and patterns of transportation are also treated. Volume 1 discusses such diverse dwellings as American colonial houses in the Northeast; English, French, and Spanish houses in the Southeast; Native American tipis, hogans, and dugouts; Spanish-Mexican adobes; and log cabins, western bungalows, New England cottages, and Georgian estates. Volume 2, Barns and Farm Structures, treats the evolution of barns and other agricultural buildings. Among the topics discussed are the ethnic origins of the North American farm barn, the changes this structure underwent as settlers made their way across North America, and the evolution and diffusion of secondary farm structures, such as silos, spring houses, windmills, and hay derricks. This interdisciplinary work will interest cultural and historical geographers, social and cultural historians, folklorists, and architects." -- Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995, Barns of the Midwest is a masterful example of material cultural history. It arrived at a critical moment for the agricultural landscape. The 1980s were marked by farm foreclosures, rural bank failures, the continued rise of industrialized agriculture, and severe floods and droughts. These waves of disaster hastened the erosion of the idea of a pastoral Heartland knit together with small farms and rural values. And it wasn’t just an idea that was eroded; material artifacts such as the iconic Midwestern barn were also rapidly wearing away. It was against this background that editors Noble and Wilhelm gathered noted experts in history and architecture to write on the nature and meaning of Midwestern barns, explaining why certain barns were built as they were, what types of barns appeared where, and what their functions were. Featuring a new introduction by Timothy G. Anderson, Barns of the Midwest is the definitive work on this ubiquitous but little studied architectural symbol of a region and its history.

Download or read book Barns Styles Structures written by Michael Karl Witzel and published by . This book was released on with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until Jamestown was established, nothing in North America grew taller than the native forests, grasses, and mountains. Beginning in 1620, the settlers who plowed the indigenous sod also dotted the virgin landscapes with towering, stately structures, the likes of which had never before been seen on the continent. This photo/essay treatment of barns in America is arranged by the five distinct roof styles that have largely come to define American barns, presenting six 20-page spreads detailing the Dutch, bank, crib, round, and prairie styles. The result captures the pastiche of rural America through stunning photography, conveying everything from stone barns in hard-scrabble Maine to thoroughbred barns in the lush bluegrass regions, to traditional Gambrel-roofed red barns in the Midwest. Regions represented include New England, the Southeast, the mid-South, the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, the desert Southwest, and California. There is an in depth examination of how styles developed out of necessity and anecdotes from those who work and live on farms.
