Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An architectural portrait of the city of Hudson, NY (est. 1783), featuring more than 200 antique and modern photographs and antique maps, with many of the photographs dating from 1850-1930. The city of Hudson, founded in 1783 by Quaker merchants and whalers from New England, has been called a dictionary of American Architecture because of its many 18th and 19th century buildings that have survived to the present day. With a foreword by poet John Ashbery, and an introduction by novelist/screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer and photographer Lynn Davis.

Book News Annotation:

In spite of its relatively small size, Hudson, NY has been home to a wide range of architecture styles, including "Nantucket-style saltboxes, Federal, Greek Revival, mid-century Victorian, towered and turreted late Victorian, Italianate, stick-style houses of the 1880s, Second Empire, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival homes of the 1890s, Romanesque Academic revival, Arts and Crafts bungalows of the 1920s and 1930s, as well less grand early-twentieth-century "comfortable homes" of shingle, stucco, and brick." This work chronologically describes Hudson's architectural development through text and numerous black and white photographs. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
