5.0 out of 5 stars
FINALLY----a long, gorgeous, color-photo Richardson book!!,
This review is from: Henry Hobson Richardson. A genius for architecture. Photographs by Paul Rocheleau (Hardcover)
This is just the kind of big, sumptuous, exhaustive book that Richardson has always deserved. Part coffee-table book, part monograph----entertaining, informative, great to look through. I grew up near Boston and Richardson's churches, train depots, and libraries were a part of the background until I took a close look at Trinity Church and realized that the same person who designed THAT designed all these other structures as well. Richardson not only revived Romanesque architecture but pointed the way to modernism. He was a pivotal figure who didn't live long enough. This well-produced book does him justice.

Quintessential Richardson,
By Scott J. Tilden (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henry Hobson Richardson. A genius for architecture. Photographs by Paul Rocheleau (Hardcover)
Anyone interested in Romanesque architecture and American architecture would be interested in this book. The quality of the images are outstanding as is the text. The book describes Richardson's complete artistic career and his numerous buildings in New England, Chicago, and throughout the U.S.
