Historic Houses Of Early America is a comprehensive book written by Elsie Lathrop that explores the architectural and historical significance of some of the most iconic houses in America. The book is divided into different sections, each of which focuses on a specific region in the country, including New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the South, and the West. Lathrop provides detailed descriptions of each house, including its history, design, and notable features. She also includes photographs and illustrations to give readers a better understanding of the houses' unique characteristics. The book covers a wide range of houses, from grand mansions to humble cottages, and includes houses that were built during different time periods, from the 1600s to the 1800s. Some of the houses featured in the book include Mount Vernon, Monticello, and the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg. In addition to providing information about the houses themselves, Lathrop also delves into the lives of the people who lived in them. She discusses the social and cultural context in which the houses were built and the ways in which they reflect the values and aspirations of their owners. Overall, Historic Houses Of Early America is a fascinating and informative book that provides readers with a deeper appreciation for the rich architectural and historical heritage of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
