A the turn of the century  farming continued to compete with manufacturing in importance. By 1965  however  the majority of our population had been attracted to the cities and their outlying suburbs  where employment and conveniences were more plentiful and life seemed less rigorous. Today  however  the farm is again luring many people back to live in the country or  when this is impractical  to visit it frequently and experience the compensations that country living has to offer. One of the most interesting discoveries made in this survey of the American farmhouse is the many farmhouses  despite their present ample proportions  were initially small - then expanded out of necessity. It is regrettable that the farmhouse is slowly disappearing from the American scene. It is hopeful that the contents of this survey will encourage the preservation of many others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279863210037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0801502209","price":58.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780801502200.jpg?v=1780614411","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-american-farmhouse-9780801502200","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
