A lot of good things have come together for my editor: work, art, family. This series cannot command her attention right now. She has not been able to post the photographs which accompanied each column for some time now. Nor has she been able to tweak things.
The columns, themselves, are not edited. They are transcribed directly as they were written. I have decided to continue to post them anyway. I know the illustrations will be added eventually. Maybe I'll learn how!
Archive of a bi-weekly newspaper column on vernacular architecture, written for the Lawrence, MA Eagle-Tribune, from 1988-1999. In 1994, the column received a Massachusetts Historic Preservation Award.
A Note of Thanks
This column would not exist if Dan Warner, editor of the Eagle-Tribune, hadn't taken a chance on me and my ideas.
Features editor Mary Fitzgerald then helped shape the column by giving me 2 rules: Remember that the Sunday paper is entertainment, and use only one word per column which has to be looked up in a dictionary. I am deeply grateful for Mary's superb guidance in suggesting that we add maps, encouraging me to keep rewriting when I floundered, and especially supporting me when I began to write about the whole Valley.
In 1999, I stopped writing the column in order to devote more time to my aging parents.
