Editorial Review Product Description As an elemental part of our landscape and our history, barns evoke childhood memories for many of us, recollections of a simpler way of life. Regardless of their size or shape, their forms follow their functions. They are honest. They are beautiful. And they are rapidly vanishing. Across the land we see abandoned farms with barns falling down, being torn down, and only occasionally being converted to other uses. As urban sprawl eats up the countryside and food-producing Goliaths put small farmers out of business, the need for old barns has diminished. For most of his life as a photographer, David Plowden has admired and photographed barns. In recent years, as their disappearance accelerated, he made it his mission to document these beautiful structures, before they too are lost. The result is this beautiful book, his hymn to the American barn. 130 duotone photographs. Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description This photo/essay treatment of barns in America is arranged by the five distinct roof styles that have largely come to define American barns, presenting six 20-page spreads detailing the Dutch, bank, crib, round, and prairie styles. The result captures the pastiche of rural America through stunning photography, conveying everything from stone barns in hard-scrabble Maine to thoroughbred barns in the lush bluegrass regions, to traditional Gambrel-roofed red barns in the Midwest. Regions represented include New England, the Southeast, the mid-South, the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, the desert Southwest, and California. There is an in depth examination of how styles developed out of necessity and anecdotes from those who work and live on farms. Customer Reviews (1)

Where Is Southern New England?
Old Barn Owner
Excellent as a reference work or as a handy field guide. The outbuildings of rural dwellings havecustomarily received less attention than the dwellings themselves.Thefields of architectural history and historic preservation have long focusedon dwellings, for such reasons as their sheer abundance and the fact thatthey may have been repositories of the fanciest and trendiest architecturaldetail.But visitors to rural areas will often find that a farmstead'sensemble of outbuildings may overshadow the dwelling in size, number, orvisual prominence.The outbuildings reflect past activities of people andanimals, and connect the dwelling to the system of fields, fences,driveways, and other farmscape elements. Thomas D. Visser, AssociateProfessor and Interim Director of the Historic Preservation Program at theUniversity of Vermont, recognizes that barns and other outbuildings are farmore important than as mere picturesque elements of the rural landscape. From the massive barn to the lowly privy, "each has a story totell."In his Field Guide to New England Barns and Farm Buildings,Visser provides "clues for deciphering the many layers of historyspread over the rural landscape... to help observers... realize thewonderful insights that can spring from an understanding of the evolutionof our rural heritage." Visser's book may be used two ways, as areference book and as a handy, portable field guide.It stands alone as agood concise history of New England farm buildings with an understandableconcentration on barns, the most necessary structure of a farmstead otherthan the dwelling. The specific fieldwork for this volume took two yearsand was concentrated in areas preselected for their relevance.Thefieldwork not only made possible this excellent guide to identifying,understanding, and appreciating farm buildings, but recorded a dwindlingcultural resource.Visser has for years encouraged the preservation ofbarns, building interest among their owners.This book, it is hoped, byincreasing awareness of these often neglected structures, will advance thecause of their preservation. The Field Guide to New England Barns andFarm Buildings will prove informative and entertaining to a wide audience,from agricultural historians to New England residents who haven't trulyappreciated the value of farm buildings as cultural resources. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Indiana is barn country. Beautiful, aged barns can be found tucked among bucolic fields from Valparaiso to Vincennes. Once a dominant feature of the Hoosier landscape, these evocative buildings are fast disappearing, giving way to more efficient, but less visually appealing, metal structures. Indiana Barns presents 138 of these charming rustics, drawn from the portfolio of photographer Marsha Williamson Mohr. Mohr has been photographing barns, covered bridges, and pastoral scenes for more than 20 years. Here, she showcases barns of all shapes and sizes, captured from every angle, during all four seasons, and in various states of repair and decay. Whether you have owned a barn or just admire the craftsmanship, this lively collection is sure to delight. |

This book celebrates the era of North American barn-building known as "The Golden Age of Barn Construction," from the early 1700s to the mid-20th century.
