It offers a welcome new perspective on an often-overlooked dwelling and lifestyle. Writing with affection and insight, Melanie Shellenbarger shows that Colorado's early summer homes were not only enjoyed by the privileged and wealthy but crossed boundaries of class, race, and gender. They offered their inhabitants recreational and leisure experiences as well as opportunities for individual re-invention--and they helped shape both the cultural landscapes of the American West and our ideas about it. Shellenbarger focuses on four areas along the Front Range: Rocky Mountain National Park and its easterly gateway town, Estes Park; "recreation residences" in lands managed by the US Forest Service; Lincoln Hills, one of only a few African-American summer home resorts in the United States; and the foothills west of Denver that drew Front Range urbanites, including Denver's social elite. From cottages to manor houses, the summer dwellings she examines were home to governors and government clerks; extended families and single women; business magnates and Methodist ministers; African-American building contractors and innkeepers; shop owners and tradespeople. By returning annually, Shellenbarger shows, they created communities characterized by distinctive forms of kinship. "High Country Summers "goes beyond history and architecture to examine the importance of these early summer homes as meaningful sanctuaries in the lives of their owners and residents. These homes, which embody both the dwelling (the house itself) and dwelling (the act of summering there), resonate across time and place, harkening back to ancient villas and forward to the present day. 606 $aVacation homes$zColorado$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aVacation homes$zColorado$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArchitecture and society$zColorado$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArchitecture and society$zColorado$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aVacation homes$xHistory 615 0$aVacation homes$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory 676 $a728.7/209788 700 $aShellenbarger$b Melanie$f1953-$01870365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972372803321 996 $aHigh country summers$94478778 997 $aUNINA
