Inhaltsangabe

Countless books have been published on the historic sites of the Hudson River Valley. But over and over again these books have focused on the best-known, best-preserved places. Every bit as valuable are dozens of other historic sites that haven't fared as well. Many of these buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a few are even National Historic Landmarks. But in spite of their significance, these structures have been allowed to decay, and in some cases, to disappear altogether.
In an effort to raise awareness of their plight, Hudson Valley Ruins offers the reader a long-overdue glimpse at some of the region's forgotten cultural treasures. In addition to great river estates, the book profiles sites more meaningful to everyday life in the Valley: churches and hotels, commercial and civic buildings, mills and train stations. Included are works by some of the most important names in American architectural history, such as Alexander Jackson Davis and Calvert Vaux.
