This illustrated study is for historians, scholars, and others interested in history. Combining ideas from architecture, history, and social history, the book seeks to understand why the architectural style of George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation house in Virginia became so iconic and so popular. It covers the period from the 1790s to the 1980s. Material on the more recent periods charts the history of the preservation of Mount Vernon and details its role as a tourist destination. The book includes b&w historical and contemporary photos and illustrations. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
