Little, author of several architecture books, writes the history of this traditional cottage popular for centuries in the Carolina's. Beginning with her own experiences restoring her Carolina cottage (one and a half stories and a large porch are always a part of this cottage design), Little follows with a history lesson of the cottage in the South. The book concludes with a tour of cottages in the Carolina's. Many drawings and photographs of cottages throughout the years are included as well as a glossary of architectural terms and an extensive bibliography.
