This book offers the first full-scale examination of the architecture associated with the Arts and Crafts movement that spread throughout New England at the turn of the twentieth century. Although interest in the Arts and Crafts movement has grown since the 1970s, the literature on New England has focused on craft production. Meister traces the history of the movement from its origins in mid-nineteenth-century England to its arrival in the United States and describes how Boston architects including H. H. Richardson embraced its tenets in the 1870s and 1880s. She then turns to the next generation of designers, examining buildings by twelve of the region’s most prominent architects, eleven men and a woman, who assumed leadership roles in the Society of Arts and Crafts, founded in Boston in 1897. Among them are Ralph Adams Cram, Lois Lilley Howe, Charles Maginnis, and H. Langford Warren.

Take Action Today and live Mortgage-Free for the Rest Of Your Life By Designing, Building and Living In The Tiny House Of Your Dreams! The Tiny House Movement has gone a long way from being a quirky housing trend into an actual way of life for people who are ready to down size their lives for practical reasons. Students who are burdened by student loans but prefer to lead independent lives as they enter the workforce find the option to build a tiny house as their starter house. Entrepreneurs who want to take control of their life by starting their own business find downsizing to tiny house living as the most practical approach to managing finances as they start a business. Older folks who are at the cusp of retirement age have been known to sell off their property, the house they built their life and family in, to wind down and settle into old age in a much more manageable space which a tiny house is able to provide.
