Description: "In outlining what, specifically, about American architecture is democratic, and what makes it that way, Architecture of Democracy begins with a close look at seventeenth century building of the early colonies, and then explores the impact of the Revolution on American architecture in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, and shows how political ideals had a formative influence on the development of the American home and on the nation's public buildings."--Jacket.
