DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe long tradition of architecture in Virginia begins with the earliest structures at the Jamestown settlement in 1607, and continues today with some of the most advanced buildings yet completed anywhere. In its legendary landmarks -- Mount Vernon, Monticello, the Virginia Capitol building in Richmond, the James River plantation mansions, the Reynolds Metals headquarters building in Richmond, Washington National Airport, and Dulles International Airport -- as well as in homes, churches, stores, and office buildings across the state, Virginia's architecture is a mirror of the many expressions of America's built environments. This book invites the readers on a journey through the eye and mind of the architect, from the very drawings that give shape and form to the idea, through the tracks and traces found in long lost letters, office records, and other primary sources. You will never see the buildings around you, anywhere, in the same way again. -- From publisher's description.

Lynchburg, an Architectural History

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis presents the architectural development of one of Virginia's major cities, from its founding in 1786 to the present. More than 175 photographs and 150 drawings, prints, and early pictures illustrate the historic significance of this "city of seven hills." Major architectural styles are represented by structures designed by nationally prominent architects of the day, including Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Jason Davis, Ralph Adams Cram, and Vincent Kling. Influenced by their Quaker origins, early Lynchburg builders were conservative. It was not until the 1890s "boom" that more exuberant architecture gave the city a Victorian countenance. Eventually, Lynchburg could boast some of the most impressive residential enclaves in the state, with Tudor, Norman, and Spanish Revival houses. Predictably, the traditional Virginia Georgian proved to be the most popular of the period styles. -- From publisher's description.
