Author Description

Excerpt from Early American Churches Certain Old buildings which have been so mutilated by rebuilding or restoration that nothing of interest remains are not illustrated, and a few other churches have not been shown since they were historically uninteresting and of a type precisely similar to some of those included. As to the period covered, the writer can only say that in general no buildings which were architecturally not of the Colonial period have been illustrated; in other words, very many structures built from about the year 1815 onward which were distinctly examples Of the architecture of the Greek Revival have not been included, although other buildings of even later date, which were in form and spirit reminiscent of the earlier work, have been illustrated.
