Historic Homes of New England

Profiles of 21 famous homes, including the House of the Seven Gables, the Pickering House, The Rogers House, the Adams House, the Franklin Pierce House, and the Saltonstall House. First published in 1914. According to the Preface: "The study of old houses grows in interest with each additional discovery of good material, such as can be found in the old New England towns and cities, more especially those along the seacoast. The preservation of these old houses has done much to give us correct ideas of the interiors, though many of these, with the change of owners, have been stripped of their colonial furnishings."
