Description: "With more than 200 photographs and illustrations, this work studies the evolution of American bank architecture from 1781 to new banks of the present day. It explores how and why the classically inspired structures built in late 18th century America, embodying strength and trust, evolved into the essentially anonymous bank buildings of today"--Provided by publisher.
