The Story of Architecture

Throughout The Ages

A recounting of the history of Western architecture. Starting with the buildings of ancient Egypt and ending in early 20th century America, this book is intended for students new to architecture as well as the general reader.

First published in 1901 entitled The Story of The Art of Building, this edition is derived from the revised and expanded edition published in 1924. The 31 photographic black & white plates have been replaced by modern color photographs. The 89 black & white figures remain from the original book. As always, this edition is completed and unabridged.
