The Odd Farmhouse (Classic Reprint) by Odd Farmwife Pdf
Excerpt from The Odd Farmhouse Our search for a house in the country led us further and further to exceed that fifty mile radius round London within which we had hoped to find what we wanted. Without pause we passed through the purlieus of modern red - brick suburban villas, which we would not have, to the remoter territory of great houses seated in their parks, which we could not have. We drove about, skirting the edges of these lordly domains, in the hope of something humbler, but with no success and the ill - concealed contempt of the parasites and snobs who thrive in the shadow of such feudal landlordism roused our resentment. We resolved to breathe a more democratic air, where the Whole neighbourhood did not hang upon the importance and patronage of a few great families. We, being not petty tradesmen, flunkeys, pensioners, peasants, pheasants, or other dependents, there was no place for us.

Excerpt from A Farm-House Cobweb: A Novel In fact all the four other schools in our township were to be consolidated this winter of 18 - at the Centre Village, using the great room of the town-hall, as I have said. This handsome, graceful, popular young teachers name was Arthur Alfred Felton. Mine is plain Elisha Stone. You see them for the first time together on this printed page. So I used to write them side by side years ago, and then fall to studying them long and with many a heartache. As I sat by my solitary wood grate in my farm-house often I wrote them by fancy in the flicker of the firelight, when the candle had burned out. His name looks the best, I am bound to confess. I used to wonder if Mary Holyoke ever wrote those two names together and studied them as I did. She was poetess enough to make their two owners dance in the mimic quadrilles of glowing embers in the ample fireplace of her father's library. Yes, quite likely she did this. Would to God she had done no more than that with his name, with his shape in her maiden visions of tomorrow! "Will you go to - allow me to escort you to the singing-school this winter?" I had asked Mary Holyoke along in November. I remember that I drove my colt Skip up there that day and halted in front of her fathers door.

A look at the farmhouses of the northeastern United States and their many approaches to their renovation, restoration, and interior design. The American farmhouse represents integrity, ingenuity, capability, and our rural and agricultural heritage. Farmhouses today are survivors from another era, constantly being rediscovered, revived, and restored in different, creative ways—though all share the same timeless aesthetic. In this fresh look at the American vernacular farmhouse, photographers Steve Gross and Susan Daley set out to document twenty revived farmhouses, and their stunning photographs illustrate the many individual approaches to the renovation, restoration, and interior design of the modern farmhouse. Found in many architectural styles, from humble Cape Cods to refined Greek Revivals, the homes in this book have all been reinvented over the years to accommodate individual tastes and changing needs while maintaining the spirit of a true American farmhouse. Furnished with vintage details—wood-burning stoves, enameled kitchen sinks, chenille bedspreads—and rooted in landscapes of rolling fields and mountains, these are the homes of the multigenerational families, solitary shepherds, graphic artists, architects, and organic farmers at the forefront of the renewed interest in the farming lifestyle. The accompanying text tells the history of each house, how it has been passed down from generation to generation or rescued from abandonment and neglect, and how the inhabitants live in and use the homes today. From three-hundred-year-old Sydenham House in Newark, New Jersey, to Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island, New York, this is a look at American culture through that most celebrated and quintessential building style, the farmhouse. Praise for Farmhouse Revival “Those interested in a homey, country style of decorating or in home restoration will be inspired.” ―Library Journal “Above all, the greatest joy is just looking at the beautiful time-worn places and appreciating the way those that came before led a happy and fulfilling life of simplicity and utility within their walls. For once you have read this book, you will realize that in many ways, it is the farmhouse that helps to restore us, and not the other way around.” ―Preservation.com “Buy the book Farmhouse Revival for the photos―for inspiration . . . the authors clearly know architecture and antiques.” ―Dan’s Paper “Perusing Farmhouse Revival is a marvelous experience . . . and is sure to make readers wonder what stories the farmhouses in their towns could tell.” ―Cleveland Plain Dealer
An Old Country House (Classic Reprint) by Le Gallienne Pdf
Excerpt from An Old Country House Perhaps one of the greatest charms of an old house is the number of superseded contrivances which it contains, na'ive engines of the antique domestic economy long since improved upon, the apparatus of methods no longer a part of the living science of existence. That powdered wigs are no longer common, are, in fact, seldom worn nowadays, by no means subtracts from our de light in the powdering closet attached to Perdita's bedroom, with the hole in the door through which the fine lady or gentleman meekly placed her or his head as on a block, so that the great puffs should not shower their whiteness over the whole exquisite figure. I am sure we are far happier in it than if we actually put it to its proper use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Old Cottages Farm-Houses in Surrey (Classic Reprint) by W. Curtis Green Pdf
Excerpt from Old Cottages Farm-Houses in Surrey Mr. Davie's experience in the other volumes of this series no doubt made my part lighter than it would otherwise have been. He found several of the buildings illustrated, and drew my atten tion to some of their details. Amongst others, my thanks are due to the Rev. Gerald S. Davies, of Godalming, and to Mr. Penfold, of Haslemere, for pointing out interesting examples. Mr. Penfold also kindly lent some of his photographic views, shown in the text, of cottages since disfigured by the hand of the restorer. Mr. George jack and mr.'a. B. Hayward have supplied me with valuable matter regarding Great Tangley and the Guest House at Ling field respectively. My brother, Mr. A. Romney Green, of Hasle mere, has helped me throughout with criticism and counsel. My notes make no claim to originality of thought or research; the authority for statements of facts are the recognized text-books upon English domestic architecture, and are, as far as I am aware, duly acknowledged in the footnotes.

The Country House (Classic Reprint) by John Galsworthy Pdf
Excerpt from The Country House The year was 1891, the month October, the day Monday. In the dark outside the railway-station at Worsted Skeynes Mr. Horace Pendyce's omnibus, his brougham, his luggage-cart, monopolized space. The face of Mr. Horace Pendyce's coachman monopolized the light of the solitary station lantern. Rosy-gilled, with fat close-clipped grey whiskers and inscrutably pursed lips, it presided high up in the easterly air like an emblem of the feudal system. On the platform within, Mr. Horace Pendyce's first footman and second groom in long livery coats with silver buttons, their appearance slightly relieved by the rakish cock of their top-hats, awaited the arrival of the six-fifteen. The first footman took from his pocket a half-sheet of stamped and crested notepaper covered with Mr. Horace Pendyce's small and precise calligraphy. He read from it in a nasal, derisive voice: "Hon. Geoff, and Mrs. Winlow, blue room and dress; maid, small drab. Mr. George, white room. Mrs. Jaspar Bellew, gold. The Captain, red. General Pendyce, pink room; valet, back attic. That's the lot."

This remarkable collection of over 300 photographs vividly details and celebrates today's interpretation of the American farmhouse and focuses on traditional elements as adapted for modern needs.
The farmhouse is a classic American icon, combining comfort and simplicity, elegance and nostalgia, all without pretension. No matter the age or condition, these historic homesteads call to mind the pragmatism of the pioneers who worked the land and raised their families at a time when practicality was key to prosperity. But the farmhouse is more than a historic artifact. Farmhouse style continues to evolve into the 21st century, carrying with it the best of the past while adapting to our modern lifestyle. Whether built in 1720 or 2020, a farmhouse is instantly recognizable for its main rectangular form, gabled or lean-to additions, various outbuildings, and spartan architecture, among other hallmarks. While the farmhouse's use of natural materials and basic construction is indicative of its traditional, sensible nature, modern farmhouses might equally be built according to Passive House or other energy-efficient standards. Whether true to tradition or adapted for a modern lifestyle, the houses featured in Farmhouse are a testament to the flexibility, durability, longevity, and--above all else--the everlasting appeal of the American farmhouse.

How I Managed and Improved My Estate (Classic Reprint) by Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore Pdf
Excerpt from How I Managed and Improved My Estate The house upon it had been a very old farm-house of large size; but the man who had inhabited and possessed it before me had added a vulgar stucco front to it and raised a large pile of ill-built stabling just before the principal face. The old farm-buildings te mained close to the house, the farm-yard coming up to its very walls. There was no view from its windows, all the space in front being choked with timber.
