In addition to his contemporary work, he had a great love of old Russian art and architecture and worked on the preservation and restoration of many old buildings and monuments. In 1946 he founded a museum of archtecturein Moscow which bears his name. Apart from a jammed upper corner at pp. 363-76, the book is in fine condition. The dustjacket is somewhat worn and browned and has a few marks on the front panel. Seller Inventory # 65221
