Title: Ulster County New York : The Architectural History & Guide
Author: Rhoads, William B
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781883789701
Description: Delmar: Black Dome, 2011. 26cm., pbk., 356pp., 340 b&w illus. Summary: 325 sites throughout all 20 townships and the city of Kingston in New York State's Ulster County illustrate the variety and changing architectural styles that have appeared over nearly 300 years in the Hudson River Valley and Catskill Mountains, from 17th-century Dutch limestone houses of the colonial era, through the Federal and Victorian periods, up to the Modernist architecture of the mid-1950s, tracing the history of one of the first regions in today's New York State to be settled by Europeans. The author's survey of Ulster County architecture takes the reader through the cataclysm of the Revolution and the burning of the city of Kingston, New York State's first capital, in 1777, through post-Revolutionary expansion and the burgeoning commerce on the Hudson River, to the industrial revolution, the building of canals, and the railroad age. Information on most sites includes the histories of the owners, the architects, and the builders, as well as the social and historical context within which the structures were built.
