Book Description
Excerpt from Industries and Institutions of Center County: With Historical Sketches of Principal Villages, &C., &C The pioneers of Centre county, like those of other localities, encountered many hardships and endured many privations. Econ omy, in some cases the most rigid, had to be practiced; privileges, now so common in every dav life in the country, were then unthought of; luxuries, such as now are enjoyed by the masses, were out of the question. In fact, the resources of the parents were often severely taxed to provide food and clothing for their children. It has been said, that the matrons of the Bald Eagle Valley, in early times, employed themselves during the winter ln spmnmg ax and tow, and weaving it into cloth for summer use, while, in the summer, they spent their time in manufacturing woolen fabrics for winter wear.

Book Description
This volume of photographs and text springs from the desire to identify and salvage the authentic character of our past as seen in our built environment. Centre County provides a unique mix of historic buildings and villages in a rural landscape setting that is a rich record of development in the area since the earliest days of settlement. Local buildings preserve traces of the changing economic activities--iron manufacturing and agriculture, travel and trade, and the growth of the Penn State University--and stories related to these buildings and the men who built them create a fascinating picture of life in the county for more than 150 years. Each area of the county contains examples of buildings that make up a complete picture of the evolution of local building types. Structures described in the detailed text and striking photographs include log houses and round barns, the Georgian and Victorian mansions of the iron masters and landowners, sturdy inns and mills, hotels, churches, farms, and buildings of Beaux-Arts classicism on the University campus. The book also provides a glossary of descriptive terms for historic buildings, defines styles and local building types, and gives information on the activities and agencies that support historic preservation.
