A MUST READ FOR BOSTONIANS, March 14, 2001
This review is from: The Architecture of Charles Bulfinch (Paperback)
This is a must read for all people who is interested in the Architecture of famed Charles Bulfinch and history of Boston. Book basically covers one by one each major works of Charles Bulfinch in Boston, New england and other parts of the country. It is combination of History and Architecture. Each building is described and most of the time a picture is provided. The scope is mostly Historical description of the buildings, locations and their style. It is not an Architectural analysis of his works showing details of each component but paralels are given from similar structures in England.If you happen to visit Boston and see buildings designed by Bulfinch you start to see things behind the facade and notice any changes that he did to originial buildings or others did to his buildings.
