Review
Blumenson has called out stylistic details and architectural terms in the book's 214 chronological photographs. This guide will help you identify (and write about) not only homes, but also banks, churches and other buildings that may have puncuated your ancestors' town. (Sharon DeBartolo Carmack Family Tree Magazine, October 2003)
An extremely 'user friendly' identification tool, Identifying American Architecture is highly recommended for both students of American architecture and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in identifying architectural classifications of buildings they encounter on trips and excursions throughout the country or in their own neighborhoods. (Wisconsin Bookwatch)
