From the rear cover of this fun, interesting, and entertaining book: "Less than a century after the first permanent English settlement was established in 1620 at Plymouth in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the New England landscape was dotted with a variety of residential structures - from hastily built one-room cottages to handsome stone-and-wood homes reflecting contemporary British influence. In this full-color cut-and-assemble collection, architectural historian and papercrafter Edmund V. Gillon, Jr., has recreated five extant historic houses of the Colonial period. They include the Waite-Potter house, a typical one-room yeoman's cottage with sleeping loft and massive stone chimney, built in 1677 in South Westport, Massachusetts; the Eleazer Arnold house, with gabled roof, tall chimneys and lean-to built in 1687 in Lincoln, Rhode Island; the Ogden house, a typical 'saltbox' - easily identified by the long sweeping pitch of its back roof - built around 1700 in Fairfield, Connecticut; the Tate house, an elegant merchant's mansion built in 1755 in Portland, Maine; and the Wentworth-Gardner house, a splendidly ornamented structure with pedimented lintels and a Georgian-style doorway, built in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1760. Complete instructions and clearly outlined diagrams show model builders of all ages how to cut, fold and score authentically rendered, carefully researched H-O scale models that will make excellent projects for home or classroom use."
