About This Book
The essay surveys the principal architectural expressions in Virginia during the seventeenth century, beginning with indigenous building traditions—town layouts, palisade-and-moat defenses, and perishable wooden structures—and proceeds to trace English colonial building types, construction methods, and stylistic origins as they developed between 1600 and 1700. It discusses the scarcity of surviving buildings due to neglect, fire, weather, and insect damage, and explains how archaeological remains, foundations, artifacts, manuscripts, and British parallels inform modern understanding. The author combines field observations, measured drawings, photographs, and archival research to outline how vernacular and formal designs were introduced by settlers and adapted to local materials and social conditions.
