内容説明

Today, William Penn's town is the living history of 300 years of architecture told in outstanding examples of Colonial, Federal, Italianate, and other early styles, and in the twentieth-century innovations of LeCorbusier, Kahn, and Wright. This new paperback edition updates the "Historic American Buildings Survey" collection, with new information on buildings lost through fire or demolition, or altered to restore the original architecture. Organized by the traditional sections of the city, the entries include extensive physical descriptions of the structures, analyses of architecturally notable features, dates of construction, alteration, or demolition, and a new street index. The book contains more than 100 drawings, photos, and maps from the "HABS" collection. Author note: Richard J. Webster is Professor of History and American Studies at West Chester State College, West Chester, Pennsylvania.
