The Origin of the Cape Cod style home -- Part 3 of "The Origin of Home Styles Series".  I’ve written previously about:The Origin of the Tudor home, and The Origin of the Stick Style Victorian ...and I thought I would continue this series with: The Origin of the Cape Cod style home. The Cape Cod style is as popular today as it was when it was first introduced to America in the 17th century by English Colonists. These early settlers of Colonial New England were the first to build these steep gabled homes, mimicking their homes back in England.  Homes during those early years included the half-timbering construction, such as the Tudor style home, that was popular in their homeland of England. Through the years, these homes were re-styled to weather the stormy Nor’Eastern climate.  This is ... 10/13/2008

Yes, I did.  I had a business meeting with two Amish men in their barn.  We would have met at the end of the day in my office, but they don't drive and it would have been difficult for them to have gotten a ride that time of day.  So, my husband and I agreed that we would meet at their place.The day was warm and it was great weather even as the afternoon turned into the evening.  On our way there, we stopped at a red light at an intersection which is adjacent to the farm down the street from my home.  All of the sudden, the stench overtook the car, and I look over and realize that today must have been fall fertilizing day.  Ewwww -- the odor permeated the car!  We quickly rolled up the windows and I took note of all of the other cars passing us having the same expression on their faces!... 10/12/2008

To learn more about each initiative and to get involved, please... 10/03/2008
