Notes: The Model Architect : the Panic of '09 pairs historical text and illustrations from Samuel Sloan's The Model Architect (1852) with contemporary text from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's online Guide to Avoiding Foreclosure. The colophon provides commentary by Hanmer, noting the effects of speculation and financial collapse in her own neighborhood. Her book is part political commentary and part homage to Sloan's original work.

Title from colophon.
