When \u003ci\u003eThe Maine House\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2021, the reception was astonishing. Over four printings and across the world, \u003ci\u003eThe Maine House\u003c\/i\u003e sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it \"crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as 'extraordinary gifts.'\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Maine House II\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond the authors' cri de coeur; they're on a mission. Through 30 homes--inland, inshore, and on islands--Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most. From visionaries who saw home in a post-and-beam barn, a lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, \u003ci\u003eThe Maine House II\u003c\/i\u003e captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place--in the present--while preserving the past and ensuring its future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes Color Photographs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vendome Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865654426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296","brand":"Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, Kathleen Hackett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766824272053,"sku":"9780865654426","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5f0ca1ee-22a7-4bd8-94d6-18736035cf29.jpg?v=1710819030","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-maine-house-ii-9780865654426","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
