In the summer of 1937, Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, rented a house on Planting Island, near the base of Cape Cod. Thus began a chapter in the history of modern architecture that has never been told _until now. The area was a hotbed of intellectual currents from New York, Boston, Cambridge and the country's top schools of architecture and design. Avant-garde homes began to appear in the woods and on the dunes; by the 1970s, there were about 100 modern houses of interest here.

Alarmingly independent, ravishingly beautiful, and surprisingly cosmopolitan, Provincetown already figures in dozens of guide books. But Building Provincetown, which uses architecture to tell social and cultural history, is the most comprehensive yet. More than 1,200 pictures and 650 entries cover everything from the largest national landmarks to the smallest dune shacks -- with three dozen boats in the bargain.Street by street, Building Provincetown takes you under the snug eaves of stout Cape cottages and behind elegant Greek Revival and Queen Anne-style doorways. You'll meet Portuguese fishermen and Yankee whalers, Abstract Expressionists and AIDS activists, early gay pioneers and latter-day buccaneers, drag queens, literary lions, Bohemians, Knights of Columbus, a few town criers, a lot of poets, plus shipwrights, sculptors, and an 87-year-old Avon lady.Working with town residents, David W. Dunlap, who has covered historic preservation for The New York Times since 1981, gathered images and stories that have never before been presented in one place. If you don't know Provincetown, this is an ideal introduction. If you think you already know Provincetown, you're in for a few happy surprises.

Old Towns and Villages of the Cape is the first comprehensive study of the physical history of the older towns of the former Cape Colony . It contains over seven hundred illustrations, including hundreds of previously unpublished pioneer photographs and early watercolors. Many detailed aerial photographs, few of them ever seen in print, some dating back to the 1930s, allow the reader to step back in time and view the original towns before modern developments brought about irrevocable changes in the townscape.Covering almost one hundred towns, villages and hamlets, Old Towns and Villages of the Cape not only examines the role of surveyors, and other factors, in their initial layout and subsequent growth, but also describes the formation of new drostdy districts, new Dutch Reformed church congregations, boeredorpe, harbor settlements and mission towns. Hans Fransen applies his extensive knowledge and insight to present the information, research and insights, most of it previously unpublished, in a very readable and accessible style. With its rich pictorial component, this invaluable reference book it is as attractive as it is informative and fits as well on a coffee table as it would in a collector s library.
