Review

A major contribution to Richmond history and US architecture and sculpture scholarship. (Choice)

This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book offers in-depth looks at the statues and the grand houses of the neighborhood. (America's Civil War)

This large pictorial and narrative history is, in a word, superlative, both for its study of urban design and for its attention to historical detail. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

Virtually every page of Richmond's Monument Avenue gives evidence of how the Confederate capital's statue-lined thoroughfare has reflected changes in Richmond, and in the South as a whole, since its conception in the 1880s. (American Heritage)

This fine study of Monument Avenue is a splendid illustration of how such solid scholarship on a narrow subject can yield important understanding of much larger topics. (Virginia Quarterly Review)

5.0 out of 5 stars A glorious book, June 29, 2001
By A Customer
An incredible documentation of the only street in America to have its own National Landmark status. The authors did their research on this fascinating piece of Americana, and the street comes alive in beautiful photographs and fascinating description.

A MUST for anyone's coffee table!!
