|With photography, line drawings, and stories, this book captures the architectural history of Nantucket Island, on the East Coast. From its days when the Quakers gained a stronghold on the island, distinguishing their homes with an aesthetic of simplicity and superb craftsmanship, Nantucket has been shaped by the character and tradition of those who have designed and inhabited the tiny island. Today, Nantucket's significant cache of historic buildings - from simple lean-to houses to Federal-style mansions to clapboard Victorian summer cottages - are the subject of a preservation movement that serves to protect the island's rich cultural tradition for generations to come.| |The book draws upon primary sources, diaries, oral histories, and archived photographs to examine the rich architectural heritage of this designated national treasure. Sea Captains' Houses is a study of the homes that have come to characterize this culturally rich island, making this book appealing to not only Nantucket homeowners but also visitors to the island and all those who admire America's architectural heritage.|--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
