Travelling through time and seasons, countries and regions, this book documents, through examples from locations all over the US, various cultural traditions, styles and influences reflected in the overall layout of the farm in its relation to the landscape, and in the individual structures and building materials. Every building and structure on a farm tells a distinct story, from wooden stables and stone fences to the icehouse and "country house". New interior and exterior photographs are combined with construction drawings, farmers' diaries and designs for innovative conversions of existing structures, presenting a visual history in detail.
