2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not as the publisher describes itBy Pauline DorchesterAnyone interested in American architecture of the mid to late 19th century should have this book. The large number of designs for urban buildings is rare and particularly welcome.That said; the publishers description - "Featured buildings include ... churches; schools; banks; and many other structures" - is inaccurate. There are some facade and detail drawings for storefronts; but all the other designs are for single-family homes.It should also be noted that just about all of the architects represented here practiced in New York or New England. The book was originally published just three years after the great Chicago fire; from which the city bounced back very quickly and which changed it from wood to bricks. I was hoping to see some contributions from Chicago architects; but maybe thats too much to hope for from a book published in New York! ;-)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. fast deliveryBy lindap-0909A good copy at a fair price and fast delivery.
