| dc.description.abstract | This compilation of information serves as a reference for American domestic interior lighting of the early twentieth century. The time span of 1900-1950 that was chosen addresses the group of structures that are now becoming eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and the issues associated with historic lighting systems are discussed into two parts. Part One discusses the technological developments of lighting systems and the repair and maintenance of these historic systems. Part two gives stylistic history in both the architect designed context, and the vernacular context. Vernacular designs refer to those adapted from architect designed structures to different regions of the country using regional materials and cultural influences in the designs that often served to meld different elements together that an architect would not have otherwise used. | |
