Pride of Place

"From Paris to Goldvein, Orlean to The Plains, Fauquier County is graced with a range of housing as rich and diverse as the countryside it inhabits. An invaluable collection of more than 500 illustrations of and about rural Virginia architecture, A Pride of Place represents every type and condition of residence from vacant two-room log structures to pristinely restored mansions. Typical floor plans, descriptions of interior details, a discussion of historic preservation, geographical and historical background, appendixes listing the properties by date and name, a glossary, and a bibliography, all offer helpful resources for the homeowner, historian, and architecture buff alike."--Jacket.
