Philadelphia Architecture: A Guide to the City, Third Edition

“The architectural heritage of over 300 years is visible on every street in every section of the city: Philadelphia is quite literally a museum of American architecture. Its ‘collection’ includes . . . virtually every important style found throughout the United States.”—From the introduction

This updated, comprehensive guide provides descriptions and photographs of over four hundred of the city’s important buildings. With seven walking tours, historical timelines, and short biographies of Philadelphia architects (including Frank Furness and Louis Kahn), Philadelphia Architecture will appeal to visitors, residents, and architecture enthusiasts.
