These and other trademarks of Pennsylvania German architecture have prompted great interest among a wide audience, from tourists and genealogists to architectural historians, antiquarians, and folklorists. Since the nineteenth century, scholars have engaged in field measurement and drawing, photographic documentation, and careful observation, resulting in a scholarly conversation about Pennsylvania German building traditions. What cultural patterns were being expressed in these buildings? How did shifting social, technological, and economic forces shape architectural changes? Since those early forays, our understanding has moved well beyond the three-room house and the forebay barn.In Architecture and Landscape of the Pennsylvania Germans, 1720-1920, eight essays by leading scholars and preservation professionals not only describe important architectural sites but also offer original interpretive insights that will help advance understanding of Pennsylvania German culture and history. Pennsylvania Germans' lives are traced through their houses, barns, outbuildings, commercial buildings, churches, and landscapes. The essays bring to bear years of field observation as well as engagement with current scholarly perspectives on issues such as the nature of "ethnicity," the social construction of landscape, and recent historiography about the Pennsylvania Germans. Dozens of original measured drawings, appearing here for the first time in print, document important works of Pennsylvania German architecture, including the iconic Bertolet barns in Berks County, the Martin Brandt farm complex in Cumberland County, a nineteenth-century Pennsylvania German housemill, and urban houses in Lancaster. 606 $aVernacular architecture$zPennsylvania$zPennsylvania Dutch Country 606 $aCultural landscapes$zPennsylvania$zPennsylvania Dutch Country 610 $aArchitecture. 610 $aBooks of Regional Interest. 610 $aFine Art. 610 $aGarden History. 615 0$aVernacular architecture 615 0$aCultural landscapes 676 $a720.9748 701 $aMcMurry$b Sally Ann$f1954-$0250109 701 $aVan Dolsen$b Nancy$01467620 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788581803321 996 $aArchitecture and landscape of the Pennsylvania Germans, 1720-1920$93678351 997 $aUNINA
