Description: "Harry J. Lucas (1871-1950), as president of Northwestern Terra Cotta Company, dominated the architectural terra cotta business during the years when it was the building material of choice. His 60-year career paralleled the industry's growth and decline, beginning in 1890 as terra cotta was coming into widespread use as exterior cladding for steel-framed structures, and ending in 1950, when it was replaced by glass and steel."--Back cover.
