520 _a"Virginia Architecture in the Seventeenth Century" by Henry Chandlee Forman is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the architectural heritage of Virginia during the 17th century, focusing on the various styles and constructions that emerged from the influences of Indigenous peoples and early European settlers. The book delves into the shapes and forms of buildings that defined this period, providing insights into their origins and construction methods. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of Virginia's architectural history, beginning with a discussion of American Indian architecture that predated the arrival of the English colonists. Forman highlights the sophistication of Indigenous structures, including dwellings like wigwams and fortified towns, emphasizing the lost legacy due to time and man's neglect. He establishes a deep personal connection to the subject through his background and experiences, indicating that architectural preservation is essential to understanding Virginia's past. The text outlines the characteristics of both Indigenous and early English architectural styles, laying the groundwork for a detailed exploration of how these influences melded into what came to define Virginia's unique architectural landscape.
