The rugged beauty of the Capes landscape has been captured in writing since the days of Henry David Thoreau. Yet few mention the areas architecture; aside from references to the "Cape Cod houses;" the basic cottages that the earliest settlers built. From Provincetown at the northern tip to the village of Woods Hole at the opposite end; the residential architecture of Cape Cod encompasses an extensive range of styles. Scattered among the charming Capes are stately Federals and Greek Revivals built for sea captains; detailed Carpenter Gothic cottages constructed by Methodist camp-goers and sprawling Victorian and Shingle-style summer mansions built during the Gilded Age. Journey with Cape Cod native Jaci Conry as she reveals the architectural influences of different eras on this timeless peninsula.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is ok.By Pen NameI played the cello steadily for 15 years. Now I just play to relax. I expected more from this book. Most of the ideas are elementary-level information. There were a few random subjects that I had not been aware of; a few things I had never been told; but 85% of this book is too basic for anyone over the age of 10.
