The Pennsylvania Barn: Its Origin, Evolution, and Distribution in North America
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Reading the second edition of The Pennsylvania Barn is like sitting at the kitchen table with an old friend." -- Stephen Gordon, CRM: Journal of Heritage Stewardship
"The Pennsylvania Barn belongs on the shelf of all students of the vernacular landscape. It is hard to imagine that this monumental work will ever be displaced by a new interpretation." -- Robert W. Reynolds, Vernacular Architecture Newsletter
Review
"Ensminger provides an updating of every chapter that is complete with corrections and additional information that renders a closer picture of Pennsylvania barns. This includes details of form, a greater in-depth look at European connections, a closer scrutiny of the distribution of the barn style and more examples of adaptive re-use. All of this has resulted in a much more comprehensive study of the forebay barn." -- Gregory Huber, author of the updated edition of The New World Dutch Barn
