Description

Fifty-two magnificent drawings by a distinguished architect recapture landmarks of colonial America. Originally published in 1922, Otto R. Eggers' portfolio depicts historic structures in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore as well as those of smaller towns in Connecticut, Virginia, and elsewhere. Captions identify the churches, municipal buildings, homes, and other architectural gems.
