ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW 18TH Century New England Architecture

New England colonial architecture has a look that

contributes to the distinct regional landscape. This slideshow will feature Eighteenth Century New England Architecture.

The program will provide some contrasts to other regions. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have a special image of 18th Century New England Architecture, bring it to the presentation, and Bob will be happy to offer comments.
