This illustrated story of America's first architect is based on material from a number of contemporary sources in the colonial period. Harrison's buildings reflect the classical mode, and they fortunately survived the Revolution. His designs include the King's Chapel, Boston; the Synagogue, Newport; and Christ Church, Cambridge. Originally published in 1949.

?Few historians have mastered so well the art of writing social and cultural history. Expert use of quotations, a supple style, deft summaries, and above all an understanding of the colonial South make this an interesting and significant book.?-Saturday Review
