A collection of provocative, insightful, and readable essays by a founding father of historic preservation in the United States.

Founder of the nation's first graduate program in historic preservation, at Columbia University, architect James Marston Fitch was a prolific critic, historian, preservationist, environmentalist, and philosopher. In this, the first anthology of his writings -- some never before published -- Fitch's ideas and observations on a range of subjects are brought to light in a single, invaluable volume.
30 illustrations.
