Legacy from the Past: A Portfolio of 88 Original Williamsburg Buildings

Author: The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
Stars: 3
Review by: MandyApgar

Nice, but with little meat. I am guessing that this is an older version of their current tour book. Beginning with a brief history of the town's rehabilitation under Rockefeller and its general history, it soon gets into the architecture of Williamsburg itself, a town that I adore insanely. Many of the usual engravings are shown here, with a few lesser known prints as well, as complements to current photos of standing structures dating from the period of the town's founding. A functional history of the building is given alongside that as well.
