Summary:

"The National Park Architecture Sourcebook explores some of America's most significant historic architectural treasures: national symbols of patriotism and heroic action; homes of presidents, the wealthy, writers, and the homesteader; lighthouses; prehistoric Native American sites; Spanish missions; and important commemorative places. Using facts, anecdotes, and personal observation, architect and longtime advocate for the preservation of American architecture Harvey H. Kaiser paints a thorough and inspiring picture of each historic structure in the U.S. National Park System." "In one accessible, engaging, and easy-to-use volume readers will find historical context, directions, factual information, and analytical architectural analysis for more than two hundred places of interest across the United States. The traveler (armchair, behind the wheel, or on foot), the researcher (seeking a comprehensive view of some of America's greatest ideas and accomplishments), and the architect and landscape architect (seeking sources of inspiration) will find a rewarding journey inside this book."--Jacket.
