[Illustration: Book Cover] REMODELED FARMHOUSES [Illustration: THE CURTIS HOUSE FROM THE ROADSIDE] REMODELED FARMHOUSES BY MARY H. NORTHEND AUTHOR OF "COLONIAL HOMES AND THEIR FURNISHINGS," "HISTORIC HOMES OF NEW ENGLAND," ETC. _WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS_ [Illustration] BOSTON LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY 1915 _Copyright, 1915,_ BY LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY. I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO MY FRIENDS IN MY NATIVE CITY TO WHOM I AM INDEBTED FOR MANY KINDNESSES PREFACE There is a certain fascination connected with the remodeling of a farmhouse. Its low, raftered interior, its weather-beaten exterior, never fail to appeal. Types vary with the period in which they were built, but all are of interest. In this collection, which has been pictured with great care, pains have been taken to show as many different types as possible, so that the student will be able to find numerous interesting details that can be incorporated into his contemplated remodeling. In the study of this work I have grown to feel a deep reverence for the old homes of our forefathers, and have come to realize as never before the care and painstaking thoroughness of the old master builders. I wish to thank the owners of these homes who have so kindly thrown open their doors to my inspection, and who have told me the interesting stories connected with the houses. Acknowledgment should be made to _American Homes and Gardens_ for permission to use various articles of mine which they have previously published. In the contents of this book I trust there may be much of value to those who are contemplating the remodeling of a farmhouse and that the work will bring to them the same enjoy
