The houses shown in this book are not precisely of gold, but are all situated along California State Highway 49 in that area known as California's Gold Country in California's geographical mineral rich Motherlode of Gold. Houses of Gold is primarily a "look book"-- a look at the history for the pleasure of seeing how our forebears lived and what they built. This look at California history roughly covers the years from 1850 to 1900 and illustrates the variety, richness, dignity and often elegance of home building in those years. Profusely illustrated.
