Book Description
Honored as the birthplace of the Revolution, the six states that comprise New England are home to some of this country's most beautiful and cherished villages -- places that preserve and reflect its architectural and cultural legacy. Len Rubenstein's photographs celebrate all the delights of New England: the fishing villages and towns of the rocky Atlantic Coast, the highlands of its mountain ranges, and the quiet, exquisitely preserved communities in the river valleys. One of the most splendid repositories of American institutional architecture is found in New England's public meeting halls and churches, and in the industrial mills and factories of the nineteenth century. There is also a rich tradition of domestic architecture: seaside homes clad in weathered gray shingles, white clapboard houses surrounding village greens, and exuberant Victorian gingerbread homes. And, as this charming calendar demonstrates, New England is justly famous for its seasons, especially its autumn, when the landscape seems to be on fire with the vivid reds, oranges, and yellows of the foliage.
