Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Very detailed book - contains images I've been unable to find anywhere else after extensive internet research. The coverage, from what I can see, is mostly in relation to the Federal Hill area of Bristol, and there are tons of pictures that show the homes in their previous appearance. Joel T. Case's homes are featured somewhat prominently, and that is the reason I bought this book. Amazon's "look inside" feature showed one house in particular that I am very interested in, and it was worth the money just for that. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Bristol, originally known as West Woods, formed later than other Colonial towns. Bristol's mother town of Farmington was settled in 1640 and became a town in 1645, but pioneers did not lay out the remote and unpopulated section of Farmington until 1721. The Jerome, Matthews, and Lewis families created the New Cambridge Parish in 1742, and it was this parish that separated from Farmington and finally formed the town of Bristol in 1785. In Bristol Historic Homes, readers will meet these families and other important figures, such as Ebenezer Barns. Barns built the first permanent home in 1728, and this structure later became a tavern and community center. Through wonderfully preserved vintage photographs, this volume shows how an agricultural community grew and prospered as a variety of skilled tradesmen brought hard work and vision to this beautiful area.
