Description

by Dick Jones (ed).
The Main Line of Phila. is considered the home of the Blue Bloods of Phila. -- the rich and famous who created the mansions and gardens one appreciates today. This book demonstrates in words, sketches, and photographs how one community has witnessed and participated in a hefty slice of cultural and demographic change in American history. It was written by more than 75 historians, educators, archivists, writers, architects, artists, and just plain folks. Throughout the book are sidebars filled with remembrances, quirky stories and interesting tidbits that remind the reader that this is a history of people. Includes more than 800 vintage BandW photos. Spectacular!
