Building watchers series
This volume in the Building Watchers series of pocket guides to U.S. architecture presents the work of 32 single builders and seven partnerships in chronological order. With essays by noted architectural authorities and 350 drawings and photographs, the volume answers questions about architects and builders who have left indelible marks on American architecture. Beginning with William Thornton (1764-1828), the guide introduces America's well-known buildings, from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument. It answers such questions as: which architect designed the pedestal for the statue of Liberty? Who put a Chippendale pediment atop a skyscraper? Who was the only American architect who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery during the Civil War? ISBN 0-89133-111-5 (pbk.): $9.95 (For use only in the library).
