Long Island architect, Norman Baker, "has depicted 53 vintage houses of colonial America, all based on and inspired by homes of yesterday still extant - many of them kept up by historical societies of the towns in which they are located. In each case, the architect has brought the house up-to-date, adding wings for extra bedrooms, libraries, etc., and drawing in space for garages, porches, and gardens - all to satisfy the modern homeowner, while retaining the character of the American colonies and of the early Republic. Illustrations include elaborate floor plans as well as sketches and perspectives." Lovely bw drawings of homes from Long Island to Vermont.
