George Washington, Architect
By Allan Greenberg, ISBN 1-901092-18-6, hard cover, 168 pp. George Washington's accomplishments and gifts have been written about at length over the last two hundred years. One talent, however, has been overlooked. Allan Greenberg explores the first president's innovations as a designer of buildings and landscapes. Washington was an exemplary form-giver whose best work was conducted in his own back yards: Mount Vernon and Washington, D.C. This two-part volume shows not only how Washington redesigned the exterior and interior of his beloved Mount Vernon using his gift for efficiency and harmony, but also Washington's influence over the design and vision for the U.S. Capitol. Beautiful color photographs enhance this attractive book.
