description	Shammas discusses the integration of research on the built environment with nonregional themes in early American history and to the incorporation of colonial structures into the history of housing and building in the US. The housing stock of states with a large part of the population living in areas settled in the last half of the eighteenth century had the highest proportion of impermanent, low-valued housing; a North-South difference also existed. The long-settled regions of New England came out the best and the southern frontier states the worst. As high as the number of nontaxable dwellings was, the actual proportion of housing at risk to fall down or constructed with the intention of rebuilding probably exceeded it.
