No frontier has ever captured the American imagination quite like the “Wild West”, which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gold diggers, gamblers, gun fights and barroom brawls over 100 years after the West was settled. A constant fixture in American pop culture, the 19th century American West continues to be vividly portrayed not…

Beacon Hill, an historic district and one of the oldest neighborhoods in America, welcomed its first resident in the 1620s. In colonial days, the area served as a strategic look-out point; in the early years of the 1800s it quickly developed into a home for the most prominent and fashionable Bostonians. Its attraction was and still is its architectural continuity and integrity. Cynthia Chalmers Bartlett's Beacon Hill chronicles the development of this historic area in the early nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries through a fascinating series of vintage photographs. This exciting compilation will transport readers to the days of horse-and-buggy transportation, early American architecture, and elaborate Victorian attire. The images in this collection pay homage to the homes and headquarters of many eminent American statesmen, artists, authors, and activists. The hill's illustrious and multicultural past is splendidly documented in this wellresearched and brilliantly-illustrated new book.

The August 1962 Family Circle magazine offered 18th c. decor to inspire 20th c. homes. Restored homes in Colonial Williamsburg showcased Revolutionary era decorating. "The interiors of the four houses are shown here for the first time in a national publication." The first house photographed was not open to the public but was rented privately and furnished with antiques and reproductions. Scenic wallpaper like in the room above was very popular in mid-century homes. In the back of the magazine is an ad for Oriental themed wallpaper scenes. An embroidered linen bed hanging appears in the bedroom of the Brush-Everard House. Above is a child's room. The jigsaw puzzle is from about 1787. It turns out that Venetian blinds were popular in Colonial times! I am sure they were made of wood slats. The Everard-Brush House parlor includes a desk and a teatime grouping. The "Tavern Green" wall paint was one of six Colonial Williamsburg colors. The color on my computer is not very close to the photograph in the magazine. The color is much deeper and greener. The following two rooms are from the George Wythe House. Note the fire screen with needlework panel. This parlor includes a desk, card table, piano, reading nook, and conversation groupings. This bedroom has interior shutters and a canopy bed. A crewelwork chair has a detachable candle arm. The following photograph is the dining room from the Coke-Garrett House West. The dining room in the Carter-Saunders House includes an Oriental runner and replica wallpaper. Don't you love the turquoise painted corner hutch? The drawing room of Dr. David Y. Paschall, president of the College of William and Mary, features an imposing 1780s Chippendale style bookcase. We have inherited a few Colonial inspired pieces. A Windsor chair. A secretary. A pie-crust table. We have a winged arm chair similar to the yellow one pictured above. The homes in my family were not as high traditional as the ones in this article, but they were ALL Colonial reproductions or Colonial inspired. Magazine articles like this must have informed their choices. Mom and Dad had a huge bronze eagle. Sadly, Mom did not notice she had positioned me right under it when she took this photo! I had a great deal of fun showing it to the kids at school! The eagle is still in the family.
