About This Book

A series of concise sketches traces the histories, anecdotes, and persons associated with New England's surviving old houses, moving from colonial mansions and Revolutionary sites to literary and cultural landmarks. Each piece combines architectural description with biographical vignettes, episodes of local and national significance, and folkloric or sentimental anecdotes, often accompanied by illustrations and selected literary extracts. The collection aims to present compact, readable accounts that illuminate how individual homes and their inhabitants reflect broader threads of regional history and social life.
