Constructing Free Identity: The Invention and Adaptation of the Charleston Freedman's Cottage

Entry/Object ID

2008.002.0073

Description

The Charleston freedman's cottage is an urban dwelling which takes formal influence from the recognizable vernacular of the city. Although the structure derives from the single house, it embodies the spirit of newly liberated African-Americans, transforming the urban landscape of Charleston's post-civil War neighborhoods. (Master's thesis.) vii, 67 leaves, [48] leaves of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. (typescript, unbound)
