Architecture in Virginia: An Official Guide to Four Centuries of Building in the Old Dominion

Description

The Virginia Museum has entered a new field of museum curatorship with this authoritative guide to Virginia's extraordinarily rich architectural heritage. With the aid and advice of some of America's most distinguished architectural historians, the Museum has conducted fresh research and secured new photographs of 223 buildings and sites in the Old Dominion, each chosen carefully for its architectural significance rather than mere historical association. William B. O'Neal's scholarly text, generously laced with quotations from primary sources, is a fascinating blend of anecdote, legend, lore and architectural criticism. Here are four centuries of building in the Old Dominion -- from Jamestown to Reston. -- From publisher's description.
