Homeplace: The Making of the Canadian Dwelling Over three Centuries

House making patterns from the early seventeenth century to the early twenties century are explored. Though the emphasis is on the ordinary single-family dwelling, the authors provide an important glimpse of counter-currents such as housing for gang labour, company housing, and the multi-occupant forms associated with urbanisation. The analysis is placed in the context of a careful rendering of the historical geographical context of an emerging Canadian space, economy, and society.
