Review
Geography, geology, architecture, and biography are joined to create this detailed study of a region and the majestic sandstone with which it was developed--rugged buildings for a muscular landscape. -- Rochelle B. Elstein, Ph.D., Bibliographer, Northwestern University Library
Kathryn Bishop Eckert has given us a truly superb study of the sandstone architecture of the Upper Great Lakes. She has traveled the region, studied its buildings intensely, learned all the necessary geology, and consulted all the relevant archives. -- Leonard K. Eaton, Emil Lorch Professor of Architecture Emeritus, University of Michigan
This text takes an unusual approach to the architectural history of a region by looking at one building materialsandstone. Eckert examines sandstone both as an industry, tracking significant quarries, and also as an important element of the built landscape. -- Alison Hoagland, Michigan Technological University
