These are not designer houses; they are homes created by the people who live in them, from artists to writers to fishermen, distinctive for their ingenuity, originality, and fierce individuality. Many are unchanged, inhabited by generations of the same family; some are ingenious conversions. With The Maine House, Maura and Basha share with you the genuine spirit of Maine. As Kathleen Hackett observes in her eloquent text, these are homes that have a kind of visual wealth that money can’t buy, homes that define the very spirit of Maine. And don't miss the companion volume, The Maine House IIEAN: 9780865653948Package Dimensions: 12.3 x 9.6 x 1.1 inchesLanguages: English
