"The Philadelphia Country House: Architecture and Landscape in Colonial America"
By the mid-eighteenth century, Americans had developed their own version of the bourgeois English countryseat, a class of estate equally distinct in social function and form from townhouses, rural plantations, and farms.
Mark Reinberger, professor of architecture at the University of Georgia, and Elizabeth McLean, research associate in botany at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, will discuss their new book from the Johns Hopkins University Press, exploring the myriad ways in which Philadelphia's estates straddled the cultural divide between urban and rural.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
