Old Virginia Houses Harbors Architecture Southern Antebellum Colonial Chesapeake

Description: Old Virginia Houses Harbors by Emilee Hines (credited to Emmie Ferguson Farrar, who originally started the Old Virginia Houses series, and her niece, Emilee Hines, who actually wrote this volume), published by Delmar Publishing in 1984. This Book is a Hardcover with Dust Jacket measuring 8.75" x 11.375" with x+203 pages.Book DescriptionThis ninth volume in the Old Virginia Houses series features historic houses near water: the Atlantic Ocean and its barrier islands, the Chesapeake Bay, the Elizabeth River, and the creeks and inlets that surround and shape the land.Water is the common denominator between the busy cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, and the serene plantations of the Eastern Shore. Because of water this area has been important historically and strategically.The architecture of these areas is distinct. The typical Eastern Shore house is of frame with brick ends, and its style is "big house, little house, colonnade, and kitchen." In Virginia Beach, snug brick houses with gambrel rooflines predominate. Norfolk's remaining antebellum houses are mostly brick mansions; with few exceptions, they have become museums or are used commercially. Portsmouth's Olde Towne is one of the best preserved historic areas on the East Coast, with elegant townhouses set close to the street.Included are public and private houses, churches, courthouses, and other noteworthy buildings, displayed in photos and described historically and architecturally.ConditionThis Book is Conservatively Graded in Good Condition.
