City hall
"City Hall is the first book to feature striking contemporary images of the most architecturally significant city halls in the United States. This diverse collection includes New York, the oldest; Philadelphia, once the tallest building in the world; and Boston, the first major brutalist building in the United States. Organized chronologically, the book traces the evolution of American civic architecture from the early 19th century to the present day and represents diverse styles such as Federalist, art deco, and modern. Architects, mayors, historians, and preservationists tell the story about how each city hall came to be and what it says about its city. City Hall spotlights these often underappreciated buildings and affirms architecture's unique power to express democratic ideals and inspire civic pride."--
