Editor Pat Perrin presents documentation of America's developing architecture, from the arrival of early European settlers to the Columbian Exposition. Details are included on the works of the early Native Americans, Thomas Jefferson, the new Capitol for the nation's capital, and on the debates over adhering to the classical styles or creating a new, innovative, and unique American form.
Many illustrations and photographs enhance the text as we follow the development of an image for America's cities.
