It is the first guide to the magnificent homes, elegant lifestyle, and varied architecture of the French, Dutch, Spanish, English, and Danish islands of the Caribbean." "Author Michael Connors, a West Indian decorative arts scholar, examines those venerable houses that remain as testimony to the rich history and grand lifestyle that was and continues to be an important part of Caribbean culture. With the disappearance of so much of the Caribbean's historic domestic architecture, the colonial residences that still exist take on a far more important role in the historical record of the Caribbean's material culture."--Jacket. 54087 Architecture Domestic Caribbean Area 115351 Interior decoration Caribbean Area lcc 6 NA7268 General C66 2009 220242 220242 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2010-12-20 amazon 37.80 458267 1 2 General NA7268 C66 2009 91000000018564 2024-04-10 12:04:49 2017-03-23 1 47.80 2010-12-20 6
