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.
