New England Rooms 1639-1863

This treasury of good taste in design, decoration and furniture provides 300 black and white photos of 56 houses which range in age from the venerable Henry Whitfield House (1639) in Guilford, Connecticut, the oldest house in New England, to the extraordinary Victorian mansion in Portland, Maine, completed at the time of the Civil War. To the architect, antiquarian and the decorator, it should be invaluable.
