the Hudson River Dutch and Their Homes, August 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hudson Valley Dutch and Their Houses (Paperback)
A well-written introduction to the settlement of the Hudson River Valley by the Dutch, as they migrated north up the Hudson from New York. The book offers an indepth investigation of adapted Dutch building styles, architecture and materials in and around Dutchess, Ulster and Rhinebeck counties. The inclusion of family names and historic figures is beneficial to any reader interested in the geneology of Hudson River inhabitants.

Very detailed book about Dutch houses in the Hudson Valley, September 25, 2005
This review is from: The Hudson Valley Dutch and Their Houses (Paperback)
This book describes the history of a large number of Dutch colonial houses including many details about e.g. window frames, doors, hinges, locks and other things you need when you build a house.
All photo's are in black and white, but no other book is available with so many details as this one.
