The New World Dutch Barn: The Evolution, Forms, and Structure of a Disappearing Icon by John Fitchen

Gregory D. Huber updates John Fitchen's The New World Dutch Barn with extensive new material. Added to Fitchen's descriptions of barn types, framing style, and exterior appearance is research information related to each Dutch barn's form, fabric, and essence. Huber notes the secondary expressions seen in barns in various locations in New York and New Jersey, the evolution of the barn-building tradition, and why only one of the four major tie-beam types found in the Netherlands proliferates in America.
