{"product_id":"around-chadds-ford-karen-smith-furst-9781531621384","title":"Around Chadds Ford","description":"Chadds Ford grew along an important early thoroughfare where it crossed the Brandywine Creek. Travelers along this east-west highway between Philadelphia and Baltimore were obliged to ford the creek at property owned by businessman John Chads. At first, farms, mills, and homesteads composed the architectural landscape. As the town grew, so did businesses, such as the Gallagher General Store and the Chadds Ford Hotel. By the end of the nineteenth century, wealthy Philadelphians, attracted by Chadds Ford's pastoral setting, began to build stately summer homes. Around Chadds Ford features photographs from 1870 to 1950, when the town enjoyed the sophistication of these newcomers but still retained its rural flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Smith Furst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531621384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531621384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Karen Smith Furst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180266414335,"sku":"9781531621384","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cbc96d2-43ca-4f41-8723-0b8d265f9fe4.jpg?v=1712897782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/around-chadds-ford-karen-smith-furst-9781531621384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
