How to Read and Understand Lexington’s Most Common Historic Houses
Dr. Karen E Hudson, Architectural Historian & Landscape Artist
Karen E. Hudson Art
Have you ever wished you could identify and understand Lexington's most common historic house types? Using line drawings, descriptions, and photographs, we will begin to build your visual vocabulary so that when you encounter a historic home in the wild, you will have a type of mental field guide that will help you identify its character-defining features, significant knowledge that will also help you compare it to other homes with similar characteristics. Armed with this context, you will be able to better understand the meaning of individual houses in their neighborhood, city, state, and national history. We will also discuss archival resources and secondary books that will be useful if you choose to expand your research on Lexington's historic landscapes.
