| The Historic Houses of Prince Edward Island |
| H. M. Scott Smith |
"The concept of home is a basic expression of place,
individuality and of family identity. Nowhere is it more
evident than in rural Prince Edward Island. In the lush,
rolling farmland and in small villages like Tyne Valley or
Belfast, one can easily step back in time to the late
1700s and imagine the arrival of the Island's first
settlers," writes author Scott Smith.
In this well documented edition, Smith captures not only
the evolution and history of Island architecture, but its
spirit and beauty. He uses examples of houses found
across the Island and reveals both their unique and
common features and history through photographs and
written descriptions.
