Physical Description
1 v. (various pagings) : ill., folded map ; 29 cm.
Notes
Includes detailed inventory of sites and structures.
This report presents the case for the preservation of the architectural and environmental aspects of this heritage in a balanced, planned relationship with continued contemporary development. Information is offered concerning the County's resources, the dangers to historic areas, and the possibilities for action. While individual County landmarks do deserve additional attention, the primary emphasis within this report is on the overall character of Lancaster's environmental heritage and the need for its preservation. The natural beauty of our rural areas and the pervasive historic character of many of our older communities are among Lancaster County's basic assets.
This study was updated in 1985 by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. The update's title is "Our present past: An update of Lancaster's Heritage" and can be found in our collection. The author of the update is "Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County".
Bibliography: p. 9-1]-9-2.

Summary
The 60 villas, cottages, schools, churches and mansions are pictured in charming lithographs, as well as scaled floor plans and elevations. Each design is accompanied by details of the arches, windows, ornaments, and joints characteristic of Sloan's modified Gothic, Grecian, Tudor, Italian, Norman and even Oriental facades. Specifications, tables and cost estimates give an accurate idea of building conditions in pre-Civil War America. Sloan's discourses cover the history of the various classic and medieval schools or architecture, plus contemporary knowledge of timber, masonry, carpentry, joinings, ventilation and gardening among other subjects. Everywhere Sloan communicates his belief in the future of an American style suited to the unique American landscape. [from the publisher]
