Summary:

Who were Iowa's historic architects? In this extensively researched dictionary. Wesley Shank answers that question by providing biographies of more than two hundred architects who practiced in Iowa before 1950 and who maintained an office in the state for at least part of their careers. For each architect Shank has gathered as much personal and professional information as possible; dates and places of birth and death; parents, spouses, and children; education and professional training; personality and competency; when and where they practiced, with whom, and when their partnerships began and ended; what roles they played in their communities and their profession; and the representative buildings they designed.
As a reflection of both national and state history Iowa's Historic Architects will be valuable to professionals in the fields of architecture. American history, and historic preservation as well as to general readers.
