From great, Romanesque public buildings, classical Greek Revival estates, and fanciful Victorian homes, to one-room schools, octagonal barns, and modest Federal farmhouses, these buildings create a vivid record of the styles, tastes, and necessities of past centuries.\u003cbr\u003e Schull sharpens our appreciation for that mix of architecture and history unique to each town or village, its sense of community. Whether used for agriculture, industry, commerce, religion, education, government, or residence, each building is best seen in this holistic context.\u003cbr\u003e With hundreds of photographs, a map, and history as a guide, Schull opens our eyes to the architecture of the county, to careful restoration, to adaptive re-use, and to neglect. She encourages us to discover for ourselves the irreplaceable physical heritage around us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eWinner of the 1980 John Ben Snow Prize\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiantha Dow Schull\u003c\/b\u003e is Museum Coordinator for the Museum Aid Program for the New York State Council on the Arts and was a Consultant in History and Preservation in the Upper Catskill region.
