“Domestic Views” Decor Book
Readers of this volume will enjoy a remarkable opportunity to view a tapestry that illustrates domestic architecture over the course of our nation's history. The houses and historic sites shown here are all museum properties owned by or associated with the Colonial Dames.
Some are grand and were mansions when built; many are plain houses constructed for comfortable shelter. They reflect life from the Spanish era in the West to twentieth-century New York City. Grouped regionally and chronologically within the regions, the properties are stunningly presented in the photographs of Erik Kvalsvik. Being able to follow the eye of one individual adds immeasurably to the interest of the book.
The text by William Seale discusses the place of these properties in the history of their regions and in the development of the American preservation movement.
