Olmert, Michael
KITCHENS, SMOKEHOUSES AND PRIVIES: Outbuildings and the Architecture of Daily Life in the Eighteenth-Century Mid-Atlantic
Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2009
Small quarto. 304 pp; 91 halftones & 9 line drawings. Cloth with dustjacket. Fine/Fine. Michael Olmert takes us into the 18th-century backyards of colonial America. He explores the many small outbuildings still found today at obscure farmsteads throughout the Tidewater and greater mid-Atlantic, in towns like Williamsburg and Annapolis, and at elite plantations such as Mount Vernon and Monticello. The author is riveted by the history of outbuildings: their architecture, patterns of use, folklore, and even their literary presence. In two appendixes he considers octagonal and hexagonal structures, which had special significance, both doctrinal and cultural, in early America. Features nearly a hundred crisp b/w photographs.
