Building the Workingman's Paradise: The Design of American Company Towns (Haymarket Series)
“In her brilliant exploration of company towns from 1790 to 1925, Margaret Crawford has created the definitive book on this major topic in American economic and urban history, as well as a model of fine analytical writing about the politics of design. Her work reveals the potential of architectural history to illuminate the contested terrains of housing, urban design, and social life.”—Dolores Hayden, Professor of Architecture, Urbanism and American Studies, Yale University.
