Searching for Authenticity | Rustic Architecture in America 1877-1940
In publishing, no less than investing, timing can be everything. Consider how this book, intended as an architectural history, has since morphed into an inspiration.

Yes, the lodge was built on the edge of wilderness, but what a grand introduction to the park it made.
