Reviews

"Peter Moogk's Building a House in New France remains as important today as it was in the 1970s. .. Moogk's story is one of people working within legal and social systems to develop a most distinctive Canadian building tradition. His painstaking research for building contracts and other docutments of the day showed a generation of Canadian scholars that critical historical research is the basic ingredient of architectural history.
