Description: Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn The Connected Farm Buildings of New England by Thomas C. Hubka A classic work on farm buildings made by nineteenth-century New Englanders refreshed with a new introduction.

These buildings stand today as a living expression of rural culture, offering insights into the people who made them and their agricultural way of life.

The book commemorates both an unique indigenous architectural expression and a way of life that has become extinct . . . The style is economic and clear and Hubkas affection for architecture binds the buildings to their people and their times." * Maine Sunday Times *Praise for the previous edition: "An unexpected small masterpiece that has some of the suspense of a detective story and, at times, the poignance of deeply felt, sympathetic social history." * Boston Globe *Praise for the Previous Edition: "No matter where you live, you will want this book as a model of vernacular architecture scholarship." * Vernacular Architecture Newsletter * Review Quote Praise for the Previous Edition: "No matter where you live, you will want this book as a model of vernacular architecture scholarship."
