Description
Abundant with details uncovered by Hafertepe in his research, including corrections to construction dates in accordance with newly tapped records, this guide features the ones buildings visible to visitors from the general public streets and sidewalks. The creator lists which buildings are open for tours and which of them have been converted to public use such as museums, stores, or restaurants.
The buildings of Fredericksburg reflect memories of classic German construction and technique with a gradual transition to American styles, including a couple of remarkable decades that were neither purely German nor American distinctively but saw the creation of a regional style.
This book allows readers to stroll down the streets of Fredericksburg and see the layers of Texas history on display: the whole thing from a pioneer log cabin to an art deco courthouse.
