Notes: "Gideon Shryock, Kentucky's first formally trained architect, brought the international style of the Greek Revival to Kentucky and the American West, and in the process imparted a template of architectural and professional dignity for others to follow. Over the course of a half-century career distinguished by a considerable body of projects, he became one of the state's and the era's, most important architects. This book presents, for the first time, the story of the man and his work"--Jacket flap.
