Excerpt from The American Architect and the Architectural Review, Vol. 121: January to June 1922 Again, while a great Gothic cathedral may be in place in very few cities, I have my doubts as to whether it is in place in many of the cities in this country. While of course it is most appropriate for a few great services throughout the year, there is an enormous waste in connec tion with all the other services. Or to put it in another form, I am much afraid that our Church is being led into a great cost for bricks and mortar and beauty of architecture, all very well, which in time will mean a very heavy fixed charge on the Church for a comparatively inadequate return.

Why did the colonial Americans give over a significant part of their homes to a grand staircase? Why did the Victorians drape their buildings ornate decoration? And why did American buildings grow so tall in the last decades of the 19th century. This book explores the history of American architecture from prehistoric times to the present, explaining why characteristic architectural forms arose at particular times and in particular places.
