Photographer Ronald L. Hartnagel has spent the better part of the last 35 years searching for and documenting Pre-Victorian homes. This collection is selected from the thousands of photos taken during that time and represent both the simple beauty and timelessness that these homes bring to our residential and rural landscapes. The influence and revival of elements of the Pre-Victorian style can be seen in home designs with increasing frequency over the last 50 years. With a foreword by Robert W.M. Laughlin, author of Kentucky's Covered Bridges, this book represents a pivotal document of America's vanishing history.
