4.0 out of 5 stars
A very unique read,
By Old Dog Blue (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Where Land and Water Intertwine: An Architectural History of Talbot County, Maryland (Maryland Historic Trust) (Paperback)
This is a unique, reference-type architectural history of Talbot County, Maryland. Because it is not an academic study per se, it is suitable for general audiences. To his credit, Weeks includes an abundance of photographic images of his subjects. The book is quite precisely focused on Talbot County and thus will be of greatest interest to those with a historical tie to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It may also be of broader interest to historians of the mid-Atlantic region or architectural enthusiasts.
