Within the picturesque borders of Jefferson County, West
Virginia remain the vestiges of a history filled with Civil War
battles and political rebellion. Yet also woven into the historical
landscapeof this small county nestled within the Shenandoah Valley
is an unusual collection of historic homes. In this fascinating
architectural exploration, John C. Allen, Jr. details his expansive
seven-year survey of Jefferson County's historic residences. By
focusing on dwellings built from the mid-eighteenth century to the
arrival of the railroad and canal in 1835, Allen unfolds the unique
story of this area's early building traditions and architectural
innovations. The 250 buildings included in this work--from the
plantation homes of the Washington family to the log houses of
yeomen farmers--reveal the unique development of this region, as
Allen categorizes structures and establishes patterns of
construction, plan, and style.
