TWENTY REMARKABLE HOMES ILLUMINATE THE RICH HISTORY
OF RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURURE
What do you see when you look at a stately old home? The exquisite craftsm
anship, detailed embellishments, and imposing silhouette of a notable histo
ric home inspire our awe, but also conjure questions of the story behind th
e structure. We want to know who built this house, what brought them here,
why they selected that particular style, and how this historic home has su
rvived when so many succumb to development pressures. "Wisconsin's Own: Tw
enty Remarkable Homes"<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=5votcqcab&et=11036

: 978-0-87020-452-4), by M. Caren Connolly and Louis Wasserman with photogr
aphs by Zane Williams, opens the door to venerable homes throughout the sta
te, satisfying our curiosity and illuminating the considerable contribution
Wisconsin's historic homes have made to American residential architecture.
Authors M. Caren Connolly and Louis Wasserman and the Wisconsin Historical
Society researched and carefully considered 1,500 potential houses before n
arrowing the selection to twenty remarkable residences constructed between
1854 and 1939. Built for captains of industry, a beer baron, Broadway star
s, and more, these houses are a mix of public museums you may have visited
and private homes you've been hoping for an invitation to explore. These h
omes are representative of the diverse architectural styles in Wisconsin, i
ncluding: an Italianate along the Mississippi; an interpretation of a sixte
enth-century northern Italian villa overlooking Lake Michigan; an Adirondac
k-style camp in the North Woods; a fourteen-bedroom Georgian Revival mansio
n on Lake Geneva. The Prairie School is also represented, with examples by
Frank Lloyd Wright and his mentor Louis Sullivan.
Elegantly illustrated with the color photography of Zane Williams complemen
ted by historical images and watercolors and line drawings by the authors,

tour of residential treasures that have endured the test of time.
"In a very real sense, history is just stories about people. This marvelous
book uses stories about people -- where they came from, what they believed
in, what they dreamed of, and especially what kind of homes they built --
to present a compelling history of a special part of America. From a quirky
octagon of the 1850s to an Art Moderne marvel of the 1930s, the houses on
these pages remind us of the richness of Wisconsin's heritage -- and the im
portance of keeping it intact and alive." -Richard Moe, President, National
Trust for Historic Preservation
"'Wisconsin's Own: Twenty Remarkable Homes' is so visually and intellectual
ly stunning that you can forget the iPad or Kindle. You'll want to hold th
is exhaustively researched book in your hands.
A must-see for lovers of historic homes." -Mary Van de Kamp Nohl, Milwaukee
