Paperback. Condizione: Good. Lowell Through Time is a visual exploration of how changes in architecture, industry, commerce, demographics and entertainment shape the experience of this riverfront city. The requirements of textile manufactory drove its development, walling off the city proper off from the Merrimack River by a mile of mills. The southward migration of the textile industry began as far back as the late nineteenth century. Area shopping malls weakened the business district a century later. Other cities in the Commonwealth also suffered economic downturns, but it is arguable that Lowell has rebounded better than most, undergoing a mini-renaissance with a burgeoning university, status as a National Park and a resurrected commercial core. Industrial architecture was finally recognized as a heritage rather than a blight and its destruction halted. Old textile mills, former department stores, fire stations and schools have been recycled. Lowell may now look much the same, but, in many ways, it is not. These photos tell something of that story.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Explores the island's transformation from a spiritual retreat to America's first purpose-built tourist town, blending historical and contemporary photographs.No East Coast summer resort has as intriguing a beginning as that of Martha's Vineyard. Before it became a tourist mecca, it already had thousands of summer visitors, but visitors who came for salvation, not the sun. Wesleyan Grove, the site of the most successful campground revivals held anywhere, provided congregants with communal support for their new evangelical lives. The Vineyard Campground, however, also attracted those who sought physical expression in sunshine and sea air more than redemption. Local investors spotted the financial opportunity this presented, leading to the creation of the first town in the entire United States designed and built expressly for tourism. Photographs representative of this period of early Martha's Vineyard are herein paired with contemporary ones. There have been changes, but the basic yearnings of summer vacationers remain as they were over 150 years ago. A previous volume, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: The Present in the Past, concentrates more on the Island's architecture than its early commercialization.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book is primarily for those who visit Martha's Vineyard, but know little about it. Its rich history is briefly reviewed in the introduction. Following this, the nature, extent and direction of many of the changes that have occurred are identified through the comparison of paired photographs taken well over 100 years apart. Change usually occurs gradually, incrementally, but here we can comprehend its outcome in an instant. This is a small island, but it is a large subject. The theme of this book is largely kept to the design of hardscape and landscape. Because it is an island, fashionable trends in design did not cycle through here as they have on the mainland, allowing much of the local architecture to remain idiosyncratic and iconic. Another generator of this island's atmosphere has been its development as a summer destination and retreat. This will be the subject of a following book, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: Tourism and the Cleansing Sea. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A rich history of Martha's Vineyard through photographs taken over 100 years apart highlighting the island's changes.This book is written especially for those who wish to visit Martha's Vineyard and learn a little of its rich history. It reveals, through the comparison of photographs taken well over 100 years apart, the nature, extent and direction of changes that have occurred here. Change usually occurs gradually, incrementally. But here we can see its impact in an instant.This is a small island, but it is a large subject. The first two books in this series, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: The Present in the Past and Martha's Vineyard Through Time: Tourism and the Cleansing Sea, focus on the Island as resort. The theme of this book has been expanded to include the "up-Island" landscape that was a world apart from the one of leisure only a few miles eastward. The activities in this sparsely populated part of the early Island were not only agricultural, but also industrial. How the up-Island landscape once appeared and how this division persisted between "two Martha's Vineyards" are new themes in this final book of this series, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: Pinkletinks Piping in the Spring. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
