This book traces the development of American architecture from its colonial beginnings through the early 20th century, with a focus on the work of two prominent firms, McKim, Mead & White and Carrere & Hastings. The author argues that American architecture has progressed from a period of indiscriminate imitation of European styles to a more conscious and intelligent adaptation of these styles to American conditions and needs. The book also examines the influence of social and economic changes on American architecture, and the ways in which architects have responded to the challenges of a new and rapidly changing country. Ultimately, the book highlights the significant contributions of these two architectural firms in shaping the face of modern American architecture.
