American Barns and Covered Bridges (Americana)

American Barns and Covered Bridges (Americana)

Editorial Reviews Book Description Accompanied by more than 75 of the author's own meticulous sketches, this lovingly written book presents reliable records of such vanishing forms of architecture as the American barn and covered bridge. Delightful anecdotes describe structures as well as the men who built them. Accurate line drawings depict barns attached to houses, an "open" log barn in Virginia, a "top hat" barn in North Carolina, a bridge with a pedestrian walkway in rural New York state, a 2,088-foot covered bridge at Clark's Ferry, Pennsylvania, and more. Written with "warmth and astonishing comprehension," said the New York Herald Tribune Book Review, this priceless and highly readable tribute to a bygone era will delight Americana enthusiasts and lovers of these traditional symbols of early American life. Over 75 black-and-white illus.
