American Architecture is a book written by Montgomery Schuyler and originally published in 1892. It is a comprehensive study of the history and development of American architecture from the colonial period to the late 19th century. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the colonial period and the influence of European architecture on American design. The second part covers the period from the Revolution to the Civil War and the emergence of a distinctly American style. The final part of the book examines the post-Civil War period and the rise of modern architecture in America.Throughout the book, Schuyler provides detailed descriptions and analysis of significant buildings and architects, including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Latrobe, and Henry Hobson Richardson. He also discusses the impact of social, political, and economic factors on the development of American architecture.In addition to its historical and analytical content, American Architecture is also notable for its illustrations. The book includes over 200 illustrations, including photographs, drawings, and plans, which provide a visual representation of the buildings and styles discussed in the text.Overall, American Architecture is a seminal work in the field of architectural history and an important resource for anyone interested in the development of American architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
