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 35604025&s=0&e=001yB7v0J1pyOOx1q3IMrEEUkUXAETCE2hFXY9MG0z93cltD6CK-3Jus JmcxtGMRayOiKGcPbDm62RKuGXbLdMLHVF71L3GPy5msY09RYni3vJYp1Gbi8G6rEm4BMAhq5rI 5nMbmdSut6VSVgNf8XbXBsWq7d3KBte_CaibVGxrZBCQf9kOle3gSA==> ($45.00, ISBN
: 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,
"Wisconsin's Own"<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=5votcqcab&et=1103635604 025&s=0&e=001yB7v0J1pyOOx1q3IMrEEUkUXAETCE2hFXY9MG0z93cltD6CK-3JusJmcxt GMRayOiKGcPbDm62RKuGXbLdMLHVF71L3GPy5msY09RYni3vJYp1Gbi8G6rEm4BMAhq5rI5nMbm dSut6VSVgNf8XbXBsWq7d3KBte_CaibVGxrZBCQf9kOle3gSA==> offers an intimate
 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
