Description:... Houses in Time is like no other book on New Mexico architecture. While it pays homage to the legacy of the adobe, the book rightly acknowledges the role of newcomers who built their homes in a dizzying array of styles. Through these houses - from the ancient to the New Age - is told the history of New Mexico. Each of the eighty-eight houses featured in Pamela Porter's striking photographs reflects its singular contribution to New Mexico's architectural heritage. The accompanying essays, like congenial tour guides, both educate and entertain the reader. Essayist Linda G. Harris livens the lessons of architecture with human interest stories, bits of history, and a legend or two. In all, the house-to-house tour takes in forty New Mexico towns and nearly a thousand years of history.
