Author Description

Excerpt from The White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs, Vol. 3: A Bi-Monthly Publication Suggesting the Architectural Uses of White Pine and Its Availability Today as a Structural Wood, October, 1917 The Georgian style in England was for the most part executed in stone, but the builders in New England held to the material with which they were thoroughly familiar. Their White Pine was especially adaptable to its intricate details. With infinite patience and love for their craft they wrought those beautiful doorways, delicate mouldings, splendid cornices, and grace ful columns that still excite our admiration. Their interiors, too, they embellished with their admirable panelling, stairways and doorways, and their exquisite mantels and mouldings.
