American City: St. Louis Architecture: Three Centuries of Design (American City Series)
“A beautiful book that captures the extraordinary richness and variety of the architecture of this gracious old Midwestern city. Many of the greatest names in American architecture – Louis Sullivan Henry Richardson, Cass Gilbert – are represented here. The buildings – as captured by William Zbaren’s lush photographs – are remarkable while Robert Sharoff’s insightful commentary is both fascinating and ultimately very moving in its celebration of Classic American design.” – Richard H. Driehaus, founder, Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture“The American City series is an ambitious – and long overdue – attempt to chronicle some of the greatest architecture this country has produced. The historic buildings of St. Louis – beautifully photographed and researched by the authors – are a revelation and a pleasure to behold.” – John Vinci, architect and co-author of The Complete Architecture of Adler & Sullivan
