Résumé

At any construction site, notice the passersby pausing to watch the activity, trying to imagine the finished building's appearance. This handsome album is a repository for that human impulse, with artfully composed black-and-white photos of 85 structures during construction, bordered with one column of text. Most but not all are world renowned and stand in America: the government buildings and monuments that stud Washington, D.C.; the famed commercial towers of New York and Chicago; conduits of transportation such as the Panama Canal, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Boston subway, or Route 66; individual dwellings from Wright's Fallingwater to a sharecropper's cabin; and a category of the plainly strange (but every compiler deserves to indulge a vice), such as the set of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or Disneyland. Dramatic, aesthetic views lend this an eye-catching place in library displays.
