What reading level is Old New England Houses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For them, as for the first settlers, shelter was a re- quirement second only to food, and the readiest means of meeting the necessity was the cutting, hewing, and piling of logs from the surrounding forest. Even after the operation of sawmills, much of the heavier framing timber was hewn from logs.
This is often revealed when the old houses are torn down or altered.
Several houses whose erection is credibly reported as prior to 1640 are still standing. Some are one story and some are two storie...s in height. The [4] OLD NEW ENGLAND HOUSES destruction a few years ago of the old house in St. Augustine doubtless leaves some ancient New England structure as "the oldest house in the United States." It is perhaps impossible to deter- mine which one of the several claimants is rightfully entitled to the distinction. The claim has been made for the Fairbanks house in Dedham, Mass., a part of which was built in 1636. The genealogist of the Caldwell family claims 1633 as the date of the Caldwell homestead which stands on High Street in Ipswich.
