Description

Salem, Massachusetts, is home to one of the crucial largest extant collections of historical architecture in all the nation. In this long-awaited reprint, noted architectural historian Bryant F. Tolles, Jr. presents an illustrated guide and walking tour covering more than three centuries of building styles and types. The book discusses over 350 buildings and complexes, with individual entries and photographs for almost 230 structures. The material has been arranged in line with eight tour districts, every accompanied by an introduction and a map. A joy for the avid walker and arm-chair enthusiast alike, this is actually the very important guide to the architecture of Salem from the early seventeenth century through the Georgian, Federal, Victorian, brand new, and up to date periods.
