257026 Champ Herren <champherren3@g...> 2015‑11‑24 Elements of style (off topic?)
GG,
As some of you know I have a 10th century laid stone farmhouse built by
Pennsylvania immigrants to the wilds of SW Missouri.  The interior is
simple and beautiful wood work.  My thought is its style is a mix of early
arts and crafts, with maybe a little bit of federal style---well tempered
by German and Dutch influences.  Anyhow, I am seeking a book on stone
farmhouses, or those elements of Pennsylvania style that are so much
removed from my locale.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

again sorry if this is a bit off topic.  If it helps the entire house was
built with hand tools.
