Ornamenting the »Cold Roast«
The Domestic Architecture and Interior Design of Upper-Class Boston Homes,
1760-1880
This book presents the meticulous case studies of three individual houses from different
eras, which serve to depict the social, political, and cultural effects that domestic
architecture and interior design had on the upper class, the city of Boston, and a national
American identity. It takes the reader on a journey to 18th and 19th century Boston and
provides insight into the lives of these prominent men and women as seen through the
perspective of their homes. It is a novel examination of the cultural significance of
domestic architecture and interior design and, because of its story-telling character and
extensive attention to detail, it is fascinating for curious readers and cultural historians
alike.
Dorothee Wagner von Hoff received her PhD at the University of Munich.
Her research interests include Colonial and Victorian Architecture and
interior design, as well as urban studies and American literature.
