Part of the Society of Architectural Historians' Buildings of the United States series, this title views the buildings of Delaware from all periods and types, including urban, rural, private, industrial, and practical structures. Architectural historian Maynard divides the groupings geographically, with the heaviest coverage in the most-populous New Castle County. Each building is given a number corresponding to provided maps, and entries may include the current name of the building, the date of build, the architect, dates of major alterations, and location, followed by a few short descriptive and historical paragraphs on the site. An extensive glossary of terms is provided, and the book is illustrated throughout in black-and-white. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
