Ozark Vernacular Houses: A Study of Rural Homeplaces in the Arkansas Ozarks, 1830-1930 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781682262986)

In Ozark Vernacular Houses, historian Jean Sizemore expands the architectural history that links the home with the farmstead, with construction materials and methods, with traditional landscape, and with the way of life that the dwelling shelters. An underlying conviction of Ozark Vernacular Houses is that architecture is but a fragment of the larger whole--that house is inseparable from its inhabitants, and its inhabitants inseparable from their culture and their land.

Illustrated with more than 160 photographs, drawings, and maps, Ozark Vernacular Houses is of importance to architects, folklorists, cultural and art historians, and anyone interested in the Ozarks.
