For anyone who has ever admired a barn on an old country lane, this
is the story of that barn and many others in Southeastern
Pennsylvania, or, specifically, "the hearth," the area east of the
Susquehanna River and south of the Blue Mountains. One of the
earliest-settled areas in North America, this region of the
Keystone State, which includes eleven counties, is home to an
astounding 20,000 standing barns, in various states of repair,
built from the late 1700s on. Discussed in this text are the
primary factors that have determined the fundamental structures and
appearances of the six great barn classifications, including forest
resources. Other featured topics are architectural aspects and
regionalisms, dates of construction, survival of 18th-century
examples, mysterious decorations, and barn preservation. Completing
this treatise are representative color photographs, building plan
sketches, charts conveying the prevalence of types, and a glossary
of barn terms.
