Hardcover. Black buckram, orange & illus. dust jacket, 252 pp., nearly 300 BW illus. "The Main Line is the suburban region to the northwest of Philadelphia synonymous with quiet wealth and exclusivity. This volume chronicles the magnificent country estates and remarkable individuals who made this legendary but intensely private suburban enclave the 'most beautiful and desirable residential section in America.' Beginning with the Pennsylvania Railroad's development of the Main Line in the Gilded Age of the 1870s and continuing through the frenetic years of the Roaring Twenties, [this book] records the successful efforts to establish the region as the paradigm of aristocratic country life in democratic America and documents the architectural evolution of the American country dwelling from Victorian gargoyle to domestic ideal."
