Florida’s Colonial Architectural Heritage
By Elsbeth Gordon

Hardcover, 320 pages, black & white and color photos. University Press of Florida, 2002.

Florida's Colonial Architectural Heritage is the story of how buildings were planned and constructed in Florida from 1565 to 1821, the 256 years that the colony was ruled by Spain and England. From indigenous Native American dwellings through Spanish/Indian, Spanish, and British architecture, Gordon traces the styles, materials, uses, and context of almost every building recorded or standing during this period.
