Summary:

This volume describes buildings in an area central to the development of the US. It shows the diverse styles of the Commonwealth State that has its hybrid regional architectural roots in both Britain and the new experiment in democracy. Following an overview of Pennsylvania's historical and cultural geography, sections organized by region, then county, present descriptions of the homes, commercial buildings, and public spaces of Philadelphia to the resort country of the Pocono Mountains.
