This handbook is the first comprehensive field guide to both agricultural and Native American stone structures found throughout northeastern United States. These stone structures include stone cairns, chambers, standing stones, niches, enclosures, stone walls, foundations, wells, pedestal boulders, Manitou stones, and other structures. The handbook provides the means to identify, document, analyze, and interpret these structures.

Fifteen up-to-date farmhouses, designed for comfortable and efficient living, are pictured and described in this bulletin. Although developed to suit the climate and farming life of the Northeastern Region, the plans have broader appeal. Many, in fact, are suitable for some parts of every region in the United States.
