Everywhere in America there are fences and walls: to mark property lines, to keep livestock in, to keep intruders out, sometimes simply to complement the local architecture or to emphasize the importance of the owner. The author traveled around the country gathering photographs of fences, and this book reproduces her favorites. The fences are made of stone, brick, stucco, cement, wood, and metal. An unusual and appealing record of one important phase of Americana. From the Old House Journal reference library.
