| Abstract |
"Margaret Ruth Little's book is a...history of one of the most recognizable vernacular house types in the Upper South, the Carolina cottage. The one-and-one-half-story side-gabled cottage--with its most distinctive feature, an integral front porch known as a piazza--offers...a rich legacy. Intertwined with a historical survey of this type of dwelling is the author's own account of rescuing and living in a 1775 cottage near Raleigh."--Front jacket cover. |
