Description

This illustrated story of America’s first architect is based on material from a number of contemporary sources in the colonial period. Harrison’s buildings reflect the classical mode, and they fortunately survived the Revolution. His designs include the King’s Chapel, Boston; the Synagogue, Newport; and Christ Church, Cambridge.

Originally published in 1949.
