Mary Harrod Northend visits old American farmhouses that their owners have rescued and modernised, including Iristhorpe, Limovady, the Kittredge House and Boulder Farm. Chapter by chapter she walks through low raftered rooms, opened-up dining rooms, fireplaces and gardens, pointing out the details of early building that a reader might copy in a remodeling of their own.
