The first book ever published that covers the entire history of architecture in Virginia from the early colonial perod to the present, by using the architects' original drawings and photographs. Also described are the tools, techniques and technologies of the American architect from the 18th century to today.
Charles E. Brownell was one of my professors at the University of Virginia, School of Architecture and this is a great book and really helps you understand the influences and developments of the great architecture of the Commonwealth.
