A HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE describes the legacy of these early days: environmentally unsuitable dwellings that now either devour money and fuel to remain functional, or slowly disintegrate in the sun, wind and frost. People today are beginning to recognize the importance of housing suitable to specific environments, and some of these new examples of western Canadian architecture are presented, with comments by designers, builders, and the people who live in the somewhat experimental dwellings. <17mn 42s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:106C 0178 079Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
