"The antebellum era and the close of the 19th century frame a period of great agricultural expansion. During this time, farmhouse plans designed by rural men and women regularly appeared in the flourishing Northern farm journals. This book analyzes these vital indicators of the work patterns, social interactions, and cultural values of the farm families of the time. Examining several hundred owner-designed plans, McMurry shows the ingenious ways in which "progressive" rural Americans designed farmhouses in keeping with their visions of a dynamic, reformed rural culture. From designs for efficient work spaces to a concern for self-contained rooms for adolescent children, this fascinating story of the evolution of progressive farmers' homes sheds new light on rural America's efforts to adapt to major changes brought by industrialization, urbanization, the consolidation of capitalist agriculture, and the rise of the consumer society.".…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rural Pennsylvania's landscapes are evocative, richly textured testimonjes to the lives and skills of generations of builders, architects, and craft workers. Farmhouses, barns silos, fences, and even field patterns attest to how residents over the years developed a sense of place that was not only functional but also comfortable and aestheticully appropriate for the time. From Sugar Camps to Star Borns tells the story of one such place, a landscape that evolved in southwestern Pennsylvania's Somersat County. Sally McMurry traces the rural life and landscape of Somerset County as it evolved from the earliest settlement days. Eighteenth-century residents were a forest people, living on sparsely built farmsteads and making free use of the heavily forested landscape (a use typified by the sugar camp). In the nineteenth century, the people of this area turned to farming. Prompted by the "market revolution," they pursued a highly varied agriculture combining a subsistance base with robust production of commodities shipped to distant cities.Their landscape reflected this combination of the local and the cosmopolitan - a combination that reached its full expression in the distinctive two-story banked farmhouse with double-decker porch, flanked by a substantial Pennsylvania barn. The twentieth century brought a more industrialized agriculture to Somerset County. This shift to profit-and-loss farming accentuated landscape elements specific to market products. The magnificent star barns of this era overshadowed the houses, and ancillary structures, such as "peepy houses" and silos, spoke to the pressures of efficiency and mass production. The subsequent rise of coal mining helped stimulate this trend as it compelled farmers to distinguish their landscapes from those of the coal-patch towns. Illustrated with over 100 photographs, maps, drawings, and diagrams, From Sugar Camps to Star Barns demonstrates how much we can learn about the economy and culture of a particular place simply by being attentive to the built landscape. The story of the rural life and landscape of Somerset County in Pennsylvania, as it evolved from the earliest settlement days. It demonstrates how much one can learn about the economy and culture of a particular place simply by being attentive to the built landscape.
