What reading level is Old New England Doorways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So many old houses have disappeared leaving behind them no plans, no working drawings, and no pictures, that it is difficult if not impossible to fix with any exactness the beginning of what may be called the "porch period. " There are many old houses with a porch projecting from above the door- way. Many of these are a part of the original struc- ture; probably most of them are. But many are of a date long after that of the building of the house. The two sections of New England in which may be... found the greatest number of old houses and old doorways are, broadly, eastern Massachusetts and western Connecticut. These were the fields of the largest of the early settlements. I have made no count of the individual cases, but my impression, amounting almost to a conviction, is that the porch is common in Connecticut and unusual in Massa- chusetts. This is in reference to old and not to mod- ern houses. At some undetermined time, the Mas- sachusetts area adopted the recessed doorway, some- [15] DOORWAYS what unusual in the Connecticut area, and serving the purpose of the porch, namely, shelter for one who might have to wait for entrance.
