Caren Connolly and Louis Wasserman. Richly illustrated with the photography of Zane Williams and complemented by historical images and watercolors and line drawings, \u003ci\u003eWisconsin's Own\u003c\/i\u003e profiles the architectural history of state's most remarkable residences built between 1854 and 1939. The houses are a mix of public and private homes that are representative of varied architectural styles, from an Italianate along the Mississippi River and an interpretation of a sixteenth-century northern Italian villa overlooking Lake Michigan to an Adirondack-style camp in the North Woods and a fourteen-bedroom Georgian Revival mansion on Lake Geneva. Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School is, of course, represented as well with examples by Wright and his mentor Louis Sullivan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eWisconsin's Own\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of the considerable contribution that each of these historic homes have made to American residential architecture. It also answers the questions who built the house, what brought them to Wisconsin, why they selected that particular style, and how it is that this historic home still stands--and shines--today.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisconsin Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870204524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.26h x 11.18w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Book Award (MIPA) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2010 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"M.
