This is a loving memorial to thirteen New England houses and the persons who lived in them. Some magnificent architectural showpieces, like Gore Place in Waltham, Mass., and the John Brown House in Providence, while others are modest clapboard structures that housed gentler, and often more famous personalities. The text is by Mark A. DeWolfe Howe, the grand old man of New England letters and one of our most knowledgeable historians and biographers. Samuel Chamberlain is the foremost photographer of New England scenes.
