Beschreibung

I think I can say with great confidence that the buyer of this book will possess the only copy. It's actually more of a descriptive album that was very nicely put together by an Elizabeth Kellogg. As you can see from my photos, she affixed her own little labels for the title and her name on the front cover. The book has 21 pages. It begins with an introduction: 'Fairfield is one of Connecticut's grand old towns. The fourth community created in the colony of Connecticut. It was founded by Roger Ludlow, the person who as much as any single individual probably deserves credit for establishing the colony itself. During the 20th century, Fairfield became a diverse community that included both industrial areas and some of the most desirable neighborhoods in the northeastern United States. It also became a town that included a variety of social, religious, political, cultural, and ethnic groups. The houses of Fairfield have a great importance and history of the town. The houses, both exteriorly and interiorly, have many signs of the changes that Fairfield has gone through throughout the years. Many houses have been here since Fairfield first began as a small town. Homes have housed famous people from the wars to from the movies. Fairfield is a town that has a lot to be learned about. It holds many secrets both inside and out.' After the introduction, a page on the left describes the history of the featured house, and a page on the right presents a large photograph of this house. The houses were mostly built in the mid-to-late 1700's. A few in the early 1800's. The featured houses are: The (Ebenezer) Peter Bulkley House, The Isaac Tucker House, the John B. Steenburgen House, The William Burr House, The Hobart House or Justin Hobart House, The Charles Bennett House, The Ogden House, The Glover House, and The Rolwland House.' The book is an excellent condition. It is solidly bound. You can see that a great deal of time was put into its creation. If you take a look at a few of my photos, you'll get a clear idea of how the book looks inside. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002747
