Exceptional. Only wish the west was included.,

This review is from: Buildings of Virginia: Tidewater and Piedmont (Buildings of the United States) (Vol 1) (Hardcover)
What you get here is the architecture of Virginia and the expertise (and lovely writing style) of Richard Guy Wilson. Really, what else could you ask for? The ensemble of structures covered here is diverse and distinguished. The critical skill of the author is unmatched. As far as architectural guides to historic structures go, this is about as good as they get. A truly outstanding ensemble of historic structures skillfully analyzed by THE authority in this particular field. I only wish he'd gone further west. Winchester! Lexington! Roanoke and Lynchburg! Abingdon! And of course, little Fincastle. There's so much left to be done!
Three cheers for the comprehensive survey of Richmond, a gem of historic architecture. Really, this book offers the best survey of Richmond's incredible building stock than any book yet published.
