Summary:

"Louisville is one of the overlooked gems of American architecture, a city of southern charm and grace with a catalog of buildings by such masters as D. H. Burnham, Carrere and Hastings, Bruce Goff, Mies van der Rohe, Mockbee Coker, and Michael Graves." "This guide captures Louisville's abundant architecture, showcasing the city's very best offerings from its founding to the recent rehabilitation of its riverfront. Tours of historic homes, Olmsted parks, Carnegie libraries, museums, university campuses, and modern homes are all illustrated with clear and easy-to-follow maps. In addition, over 200 buildings have comprehensive descriptions accompanied by black-and-white photographs. This book includes everything you need to know about Louisville's rich architectural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.
